Overview
This HTS category, 9902.14.74, specifically covers large stoneware ceramic slabs. The defining characteristics for classification under this code are the substantial dimensions of each slab, measuring at least 320 cm in length by 144 cm in width. These are intended for use in applications where such large format materials are required, such as architectural cladding or specialized flooring.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within the broader HTS structure is crucial. Unlike general ceramic products or smaller format tiles found in other chapters, these stoneware slabs are defined by their extraordinary size. Their classification within Chapter 99 signifies they are subject to temporary legislation, modifications, or restrictions, rather than being a standard permanent classification.
As a leaf node within the HTS database, 9902.14.74 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on meeting the specified dimensional criteria and the material composition of stoneware ceramic. Importers must ensure that the physical characteristics of the imported slabs precisely match the description to ensure correct customs declaration and avoid potential penalties.
