Chapter 69 classification notes

Ceramic tiles from China face significant anti-dumping duties in the US (up to 222%) and EU. Weight-based transport costs are significant for ceramics. Porcelain vs stoneware classification affects duty rate.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Porcelain (vitrified, translucent) vs stoneware (opaque, not fully vitrified) — the distinction affects classification and sometimes duty rate.
