What HS code 6907 covers
Think of this heading as the home of ceramic surface tiles. Floor tiles, paving, hearth tiles and wall tiles all go here. So do small mosaic cubes, with or without a backing, and a group called finishing ceramics. Many forms and sellers write it as HSN code 6907. The number and the meaning are the same.
Classification works in steps: section, chapter, heading, then the six-digit code. This heading sits in Section XIII, Articles of Stone, Ceramic and Glass, under Chapter 69, Ceramic products. The six-digit code is where you make the final choice.
How water absorption decides the tile code
Three subheadings cover ceramic tiles, flags and paving, and hearth or wall tiles. One test tells them apart. It is the water absorption coefficient by weight. In plain words, it shows how much water a tile soaks up compared with its own weight. Dense, tightly fired tiles take in very little. Porous tiles take in more. The exact cut-off figures are in the code table above, so match your lab or maker's test result to them.
Pick the band that fits your tile:
- 690721: the lowest absorption band, for the densest tiles.
- 690722: the middle band, between the two limits.
- 690723: the highest band, for the most porous tiles.
- 690730: mosaic cubes and the like. Check this code on its own, not by absorption.
- 690740: finishing ceramics. This code stands apart from the tile bands and from mosaic cubes.
Is it 6907 or another Chapter 69 heading?
Several nearby headings sound alike. Look at what the goods are and how they are used, then pick the code.
Roofing tiles, chimney-pots and architectural ornaments belong to HS 6905. Tiles built to resist heat belong with the refractory goods in HS 6902. Sinks, wash basins, baths and toilet pans belong to HS 6910. Statuettes and other ornamental pieces belong to HS 6913. Ceramic articles named nowhere else in the chapter go to HS 6914.
A tile for a floor or wall, or a mosaic cube, fits here. A roof tile, a filler tile or a bathroom fixture does not. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier.
