Last updated: April 2026 dataCeramic mosaic cubes, tesserae, and similar small-format pieces — typically supplied on mesh backing sheets for pool surrounds, feature walls, and decorative installations — are classified under 6907.30 when they are not finishing ceramics of 6907.40. Italy is the leading US supplier, reflecting its deep tradition in glass and ceramic mosaic production, with Mexico and Thailand also prominent sources. The US schedule distinguishes glazed from unglazed pieces and applies surface-area breakpoints (under 7 cm² and under 30 cm²) across lines 6907301000 through 6907309051. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders that cover ceramic tile from certain origins may extend to mosaic products depending on scope language, so importers should confirm applicability before entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Heading 6907.40 covers 'finishing ceramics' — a category that includes trim pieces, edge tiles, and similar articles designed to finish or frame a tiled surface rather than cover it. Mosaic cubes and tesserae intended for field coverage classify under 6907.30. The distinction matters because the two subheadings may carry different duty rates and may be treated differently under the scope of any active antidumping orders. When a product could plausibly fit either description, a binding ruling from CBP is the most reliable way to confirm the correct subheading.
Mesh-backed mosaic sheets are generally classified based on the ceramic tiles themselves, with the backing considered a mounting convenience rather than a separate article that changes the classification. CBP has consistently treated the ceramic component as the essential character of the composite good. The surface area measurement used for 10-digit line selection is that of the individual tile piece, not the overall sheet dimensions.
