Ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing; finishing ceramics
Analysis
Heading 6907 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing; finishing ceramics. It divides into 5 six-digit subheadings and 25 eight-digit tariff lines, with 40 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 25 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 8.5% to 10% with a median of 10%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 10% sits at the 82nd percentile of the headings in chapter 69.
The largest subheadings are 6907.21 (of a water absorption coefficient by weight not…, 5 lines), 6907.22 (of water absorption coefficient by weight…, 5 lines), 6907.23 (of a water absorption coefficient by weight…, 5 lines) and 6907.30 (mosaic cubes and the like, other than those of…, 5 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing (327120). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
