What HTS 6907.21.10.11 Covers
A statistical breakout of the unglazed low-absorption tile line for small-format tiles: those whose largest surface area can be enclosed in a small square, which in practice means mosaic-size tiles. These are typically unglazed porcelain mosaics, often supplied mesh-mounted in sheets for floors, walls, and pools.
Notes for Importers
The parent classification (unglazed, water absorption not over 0.5 percent) must be satisfied first; this line only sorts the goods by tile size for statistical reporting. Mosaic tiles mounted on mesh backing sheets are still classified as tiles by their individual tile size. Glass mosaics are Chapter 70 and stone mosaics are Chapter 68, so confirm the material is ceramic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size tiles report under this line?
Small-format tiles whose largest face fits within the size square specified in the statistical note, which captures typical mosaic tiles. Larger tiles report under other statistical lines of the same subheading.
Are mesh-mounted mosaic sheets classified by the sheet size or the tile size?
By the individual tile size. Mounting small tiles on a mesh or paper backing does not change their classification as small tiles.
Does this cover glass mosaic tile?
No. Glass mosaics are classified in Chapter 70. This line is only for ceramic tiles meeting the unglazed, low water absorption criteria of 6907.21.
What is the HTS code 6907.21.10.11 used for?
HTS code 6907.21.10.11 is the harmonized tariff schedule code for Tiles, the largest surface area of which is capable of being enclosed in a square the side of which is 30 cm or less. This code is used to classify and identify this product type for customs clearance, duty calculation, and trade statistics.
What is the Column 2 rate for HTS 6907.21.10.11?
The Column 2 rate is the tariff duty rate applicable to goods from countries that do not have normal trade relations with the United States. This rate is typically higher than Column 1 (Most Favored Nation) rates and is rarely used in modern trade due to most-favored-nation agreements.
Do I need a customs broker to import goods classified under HTS 6907.21.10.11?
While not always required, using a licensed customs broker is highly recommended for most imports. A customs broker can help ensure proper HTS classification, prepare customs documentation, pay duties correctly, and avoid delays or penalties. Your broker should be familiar with Stone, Ceramic, and Glass Products products.

Multiple free trade agreements and trade preference programs provide reduced or free tariffs for eligible HTS classifications. Common programs include USMCA (Canada, Mexico), various bilateral FTAs (Korea, Australia, Singapore), GSP for developing countries, and AGOA for eligible African nations.

How does HTS code 6907.21.10.11 affect my import costs?
