Ceramic tile from China may fall within two U.S. Department of Commerce trade-remedy orders: antidumping case A-570-108 and countervailing case C-570-109. Both an AD and a CVD order exist for this product and country, so importers of ceramic tile of Chinese origin should carefully verify scope, origin, and current cash-deposit requirements before entry.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•May include glazed and unglazed ceramic floor and wall tiles
•May include porcelain tile used for flooring or walls
•May include ceramic mosaic tiles typically mounted or unmounted on backing
•May include finishing pieces such as trim, moldings, or edge tiles of ceramic
•May include ceramic tiles imported unassembled or in pre-cut form
•May include ceramic paving and hearth tiles depending on scope

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Products not made of ceramic (for example natural stone, glass, or metal tiles) may be outside the order
?Certain sanitaryware such as ceramic sinks or toilets may be outside this tile scope
?Brick and structural clay products may fall outside the order
?Ceramic tableware or decorative ceramics not intended as tile may be outside scope
?Roofing tiles may be outside the order depending on the written scope

Scope control: Any HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, or unassembled ceramic tile items may still be covered depending on that scope.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of ceramic floor, wall, mosaic, or trim tile of Chinese origin, and for distributors, contractors, or retailers sourcing such tile directly or indirectly from China.

What the duty means

Cash deposits are collected at entry, and because both an AD (A-570-108) and a CVD (C-570-109) order exist, both types of deposits may apply. Rates vary by exporter/producer and by administrative review and can be high; a 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption—the order still applies and the merchandise must be declared.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice description and confirm the exact material and product type.
☐Collect product photos and specification/spec sheets showing composition and dimensions.
☐Document the material composition to confirm whether the product is ceramic.
☐Identify the intended use (floor, wall, mosaic, trim) to compare against scope.
☐Obtain country-of-origin support and manufacturing records to confirm true origin.
☐Record both the manufacturer/producer and exporter names and their specific combination.
☐Determine the correct HTS classification for screening, understanding scope still controls.
☐Confirm scope questions with a licensed customs broker or qualified trade counsel.
☐Verify the applicable cash-deposit rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing, and do not rely only on supplier statements.

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin.
⚠Scope inquiries that could clarify or expand coverage of specific tile products.
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination, resulting in an incorrect deposit rate.
⚠Misdeclaration of origin, product type, or scope, which can trigger penalties and retroactive duties.

The same product may be subject to trade-remedy orders in more than one country—for example, ceramic tile from India is also referenced—so importers should review each country of origin separately without pursuing evasion.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on ceramic tile from China?

There is an antidumping duty order on ceramic tile from China under case A-570-108, and a separate countervailing duty order under C-570-109. Whether a specific shipment falls within scope depends on Commerce's written scope language and should be verified.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, the goods must be declared, and rates can change through administrative reviews.

Are parts or unassembled ceramic tile covered?

Unfinished, pre-cut, or unassembled ceramic tile may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope; importers should confirm rather than assume exclusion.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are ceramic floor, wall, or mosaic tile of Chinese origin; separate review is needed for blends, mixed-material products, unfinished or unassembled tile, and third-country processing.

Bottom line: Ceramic tile from China may be covered by A-570-108 (AD) and C-570-109 (CVD); confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.
