6907.22.10.11 - 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 HTS category, 6907.22.10.11, specifically classifies unglazed ceramic tiles where the largest surface area can be enclosed within a 30 cm square. These tiles are intended for flooring, paving, hearths, or walls and are distinct from mosaic cubes or finishing ceramics. The defining characteristic here is the combination of being unglazed and having a moderate water absorption rate, falling within the range exceeding 0.5 percent but not exceeding 10 percent by weight.

Within the "Other" subcategory at this level, 6907.22.10.11 is distinguished from its sibling, 6907.22.10.51, by its specific size limitation. While both fall under unglazed ceramic tiles with the specified water absorption, 6907.22.10.11 is explicitly for those whose largest surface area is 30 cm or less. This size criterion is crucial for differentiating between smaller floor or wall tiles and potentially larger format tiles that might be classified elsewhere.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this specific code relies entirely on meeting all the preceding criteria: being a ceramic flag, paver, hearth, or wall tile; having a water absorption coefficient by weight exceeding 0.5 percent but not exceeding 10 percent; being unglazed; and having its largest surface area capable of being enclosed within a square with sides of 30 cm or less. Examples would include smaller ceramic floor tiles for bathrooms or kitchens, or unglazed wall tiles for decorative or functional purposes within this size constraint.
