6911.10.38 - Aggregate value over $200

This HTS category, 6911.10.38, specifically classifies tableware and kitchenware made of porcelain or china that is available in specified sets and where the aggregate value of the articles listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) of this chapter exceeds $56. The crucial defining factor for this subcategory is the "aggregate value over $200" threshold, indicating that the collection as a whole, when considering certain components as detailed in the relevant U.S. note, reaches this higher valuation.

This contrasts with its sibling category, 6911.10.37, which covers identical types of porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware sold in specified sets but where the aggregate value of the articles in question does not exceed $200. Therefore, the primary differentiator between these two closely related classifications is the total declared value of the set's qualifying components, with 6911.10.38 applying to those sets exceeding the higher monetary threshold.

Within this category, further distinctions are made based on the specific types of articles included in the set. Subcategory 6911.10.38.10 captures sets that include plates with a maximum dimension not exceeding 27.9 cm, teacups and saucers, mugs, and soups, fruits, and cereals bowls with a maximum dimension not exceeding 22.9 cm. All other specified sets falling under the aggregate value over $200 criterion, but not meeting the specific item breakdown of .10, are classified under subcategory 6911.10.38.50, designated as "Other."
