Last updated: July 2026 dataSemi-vitrified ceramic tiles with a water absorption coefficient between 0.5% and 10% by weight occupy the mid-range of the ceramic tile spectrum, encompassing many standard glazed wall tiles and floor tiles used widely in residential bathrooms, kitchens, and light commercial interiors. Mexico leads US imports under this heading, followed by Spain and India — a supplier mix that reflects both USMCA proximity advantages and established European manufacturing. Like other subheadings of heading 6907, these tiles have been the subject of antidumping investigations, and importers should verify current trade-remedy orders before sourcing. The US schedule mirrors the structure of 6907.21, splitting lines by glazed/unglazed finish and by facial surface area, with dedicated provisions for mosaic-sized pieces.

Heading 6907.22 tiles have been included in antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings targeting ceramic tile from certain countries. Importers must check the current scope of any active orders with US Customs and Border Protection or the Department of Commerce before entry, as scope language can turn on product specifications such as absorption coefficient, size, and finish — precisely the variables that define the 10-digit lines within this subheading.
CBP may request a manufacturer's test certificate or third-party laboratory report showing the water absorption result per ASTM C373 or the equivalent ISO 10545-3 method. This is particularly important when a shipment's absorption value is near the 0.5% or 10% boundary, since the result determines which 6907.2x subheading applies and, consequently, which antidumping order scope — if any — covers the goods.
