Last updated: April 2026 dataEngineered stone and concrete floor and wall tiles compete directly with ceramic and natural stone products in the US market, and the US schedule draws a meaningful distinction between agglomerated marble-cement tiles (6810191200) and other cement or concrete tiles (6810191400), with a separate line for non-tile articles of cement or concrete (6810195000). Canada and Italy are the leading suppliers, with China and Vietnam also prominent. Importers should be alert to potential antidumping exposure on certain tile categories from specific origins, as the tile sector has been subject to trade-remedy proceedings.

The distinction turns on the binding matrix: agglomerated marble-cement tiles use a cement or mineral binder to consolidate marble chips or fragments, placing them in Chapter 68. Ceramic tiles in Chapter 69 are fired clay or porcelain products. The key documentation is the manufacturer's material specification confirming the binder type and the absence of a firing process. CBP may request laboratory analysis if the product's appearance makes the classification ambiguous.
Large-format engineered quartz slabs are classified under heading 681099 rather than 681019. Within 681099, the US schedule provides specific lines for agglomerated quartz slabs based on dimensions (3 meters or more in length and 1.25 meters or more in width) and for countertop-grade slabs. Flooring applications do not change the classification; the product's composition and dimensions determine the correct 10-digit line.
