HSN Code for Tiles in India: Ceramic, Vitrified & Marble Classification

The HSN code for ceramic flooring and wall tiles in India is 6907 under Chapter 69 of the Customs Tariff Act. The applicable GST rate is 18%, and the Basic Customs Duty (BCD) is 20% for imported tiles.

What is the HSN code for tiles in India?

The HSN code for tiles in India depends on the material. Ceramic and vitrified tiles — those made from fired clay, silica, and mineral compounds — fall under HSN code 6907 in Chapter 69 of the Customs Tariff Act. The specific heading is 6907: "Ceramic flags, paving, hearth or wall tiles; ceramic mosaic cubes and the like."

Natural stone tiles like limestone, granite, or slate are different. They go under Chapter 68, not Chapter 69. Cement-based tiles land there too. Getting this wrong — putting fired-clay tiles in Chapter 68 — is one of the most common classification errors in construction-material imports.

Vitrified tiles are a subset of ceramic tiles. The vitrification process makes them denser and less porous, but for customs purposes they still sit under 6907.
