6907.21.40.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 6907.21.40.00, specifically covers "Other" glazed ceramic flags, paving, hearth, or wall tiles that meet the criteria of having a water absorption coefficient by weight not exceeding 0.5%. These tiles are characterized by their glazed surface and are intended for use in tiling applications for floors, walls, and hearths. The defining physical characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the largest surface area of the tile is capable of being enclosed in a square with a side measurement greater than or equal to 7 cm, but not specifically defined by its surface area alone as outlined in the sibling category.

This category serves as a residual classification for glazed ceramic tiles with low water absorption, where the largest surface area is not less than 7 cm per side. It is distinct from its sibling category, 6907.21.30.00, which specifically enumerates glazed ceramic tiles where the largest surface area is less than 38.7 square centimeters. Therefore, tiles falling under 6907.21.40.00 are generally larger than those classified under 6907.21.30.00, assuming they meet the common criteria of being glazed and having a water absorption not exceeding 0.5%.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 6907.21.40.00. Classification decisions at this level should focus on the precise measurement of the largest surface area, ensuring it is capable of being enclosed within a square with sides of 7 cm or more, and differentiating it from the surface area specific limitations of its sibling category. The primary focus remains on the material (ceramic), surface treatment (glazed), water absorption characteristics, and the dimensional capabilities of the tile's largest surface.
