Overview
Chapter 69 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule encompasses a wide array of ceramic products. Within this chapter, heading 6911 specifically addresses tableware, kitchenware, other household articles, and toilet articles manufactured from porcelain or china. This category is distinguished from other headings within Chapter 69 by its focus on finished goods intended for domestic or personal use, rather than raw ceramic materials, bricks, tiles, or sanitary ware, which are classified elsewhere in the chapter.
The articles falling under HTS 6911 are characterized by their material composition, being made of porcelain or china, which are fine-grained ceramic materials fired at high temperatures. The intended use is also a key classification criterion; this heading covers items like dinner plates, teacups, serving dishes, bowls, and cooking pots, as well as decorative household items and personal care articles like soap dishes and toothbrush holders, provided they are made of porcelain or china.
To further refine classification, heading 6911 is subdivided. The primary subcategory, 6911.10, specifically pertains to "Tableware and kitchenware," encompassing items designed for serving and preparing food and beverages. The residual subcategory, 6911.90.00, covers all other household and toilet articles within this heading that are not classified as tableware or kitchenware.
