About ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing; finishing ceramics

HS code 6907 covers a diverse range of ceramic products that are widely used in construction, home decor, and various other applications. These ceramic tiles, mosaics, and finishing materials play a crucial role in the global building and interior design industries, contributing to the aesthetic appeal and functionality of residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. As a key component of the broader ceramics sector, this industry is closely tied to the global construction and real estate markets, making it an important part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of the ceramic products covered under HS code 6907 typically involves a multi-step process. This includes the preparation of raw materials, such as clay, feldspar, and silica, which are then mixed, shaped, and fired at high temperatures to achieve the desired properties. Depending on the specific product, various finishing techniques may be employed, such as glazing, polishing, or the application of decorative patterns or textures.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 6907 items include a variety of raw materials, such as 2508 Natural clays, 2529 Feldspar, and 2506 (Quartz (other than natural sands)) for the ceramic body, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for shaping, firing, and finishing the products. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure to support the manufacturing and distribution processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the HS code 6907 industry are ceramic tiles, mosaics, and other finishing materials used in construction, home improvement, and interior design. These products are often consumed by the 6908 Glazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; glazed ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing and 6914 Other ceramic articles industries, as well as the broader 6901 Bricks, blocks, tiles and other ceramic goods of siliceous fossil meals or of similar siliceous earths and 6902 Refractory bricks, blocks, tiles and similar refractory ceramic constructional goods, other than those of siliceous fossil meals or similar siliceous earths sectors.
