China Tile Taxes Continue: Floor Coverings Stay Price-Protected

Published Date: 3/2/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. government is keeping special taxes on ceramic tiles from China because stopping them could hurt American tile makers. These taxes help stop unfair pricing and unfair government help from China. This decision started on February 20, 2026, and means importers will keep paying extra fees for now.

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Importers Keep Paying AD/CVD Deposits

If you import ceramic tile from the People’s Republic of China, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation is effective February 20, 2026, so importers must keep paying these extra duties on covered ceramic tile shipments.

U.S. Ceramic Tile Industry Protected

The Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission determined that removing the AD and CVD orders would likely cause continued dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, the orders remain in place to protect the U.S. ceramic tile industry from those harms.

Wide Scope: Tiles, Slabs, and Minor Processing Covered

The Orders cover a broad range of ceramic tile products (including flooring, wall, mosaic, porcelain, and "slabs" larger than 1 square meter) that are under 3.2 cm in thickness, and they explicitly include tile that undergoes minor processing in a third country or minor processing after importation. The notice also lists applicable HTSUS subheadings (for example, multiple 6907.x subheadings and entries under headings 6914 and 6905) to identify covered imports.
