6907.22.40.00 - Other

This HTS category, 6907.22.40.00, encompasses "Other" glazed ceramic flags, paving, hearth, and wall tiles. These tiles are characterized by a water absorption coefficient by weight exceeding 0.5 percent but not exceeding 10 percent, placing them within the broader group of vitrified or semi-vitreous ceramic products. Crucially, the defining feature of this specific classification is that the largest surface area of the tile is capable of being enclosed within a square with a side length of less than 7 cm, and it is not otherwise categorized by specific area limitations like its sibling.

This category serves as a residual classification for glazed tiles that meet the specified water absorption criteria and have a relatively small surface area, but do not fall under the more specific subheadings like 6907.22.30.00. The sibling category, 6907.22.30.00, specifically addresses tiles where the largest surface area is less than 38.7 cm², providing a more granular distinction based on precise surface area measurements. Therefore, 6907.22.40.00 is for those glazed tiles with a water absorption between 0.5% and 10% where the largest surface area can be enclosed by a square with sides less than 7 cm, but their specific area measurement does not place them into the less than 38.7 cm² category.

As a leaf node within the HTS, this classification does not have further subcategories. The classification process concludes at this level, requiring careful assessment of the physical dimensions (largest surface area enclosure by a square with sides < 7 cm) and the water absorption rate (0.5% to 10%) to accurately assign goods to this category. Examples of products that might fall here include small mosaic tiles or decorative accent tiles used for walls or borders that meet the defined water absorption and size parameters.
