Product classification
HS code for Concrete tiles: 6810.19
Cement, concrete or artificial stone, tiles, flagstones and similar, (excluding building blocks and bricks) whether or not reinforced.
Classification of concrete tiles under HS 6810.19
Concrete tiles are classified under HS code 6810.19. This classification falls within Chapter 68, which encompasses articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica, or similar materials. Heading 6810 specifically covers articles of cement, of concrete, or of artificial stone, whether or not reinforced. The subheading 6810.19 is a residual category for tiles, flagstones, and similar articles, excluding building blocks and bricks (which are 6810.11). These products are typically manufactured by molding a mixture of cement, sand, and water, often with added pigments or reinforcements. The classification is based on the material composition (cement/concrete) and the form of the finished product (tiles or flagstones). Unlike ceramic tiles, which are fired in a kiln and fall under Chapter 69, concrete tiles are cured through a chemical hydration process. This distinction is critical for customs purposes, as the manufacturing process determines the chapter. The code 6810.19 covers both decorative and functional tiles used for roofing, flooring, or wall cladding, provided they are made of a cementitious base.

Codes often confused with 6810.19
Common mistake. Concrete tiles are often confused with HS code 6907, which covers ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles. The difference lies in the material: 6907 is for fired clay, while 6810 is for cement-based products. Additionally, they may be confused with 6810.11, which is strictly for building blocks and bricks. Tiles are generally thinner and used for surfacing rather than structural wall construction. Finally, natural stone tiles fall under 6802, whereas concrete tiles are considered "artificial stone" under 6810.

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).
