HS Code 6810.19 – Cement, concrete or artificial stone; tiles, flagstones and similar, (excluding building blocks and bricks) whether or not reinforced
HS code 6810.19 is the 6-digit subheading for cement, concrete or artificial stone, tiles, flagstones and similar, (excluding building blocks and bricks) whether or not reinforced. It is used for concrete floor tiles, artificial stone wall panels, precast concrete pavers, terrazzo tiles and concrete roof tiles.
What HS 6810.19 covers
This category encompasses various finishing and surfacing materials made from cement, concrete, or artificial stone, specifically excluding basic building blocks and bricks. It includes items like tiles, flagstones, and similar articles, which may or may not be reinforced. These products are crucial for both interior and exterior applications in residential, commercial, and public spaces, providing aesthetic appeal, durability, and functional surfaces. International trade in these goods is influenced by architectural trends, design preferences, and the demand for resilient flooring and cladding solutions. Exporters often include countries with advanced manufacturing capabilities and design expertise, while importers seek a diverse range of styles and qualities for their construction and renovation projects. Logistics for these items are less about bulk and more about careful handling to prevent damage, making packaging and freight insurance important considerations. The market is dynamic, with continuous innovation in textures, colors, and performance characteristics.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
