6911.10.38.50 - Other 🖩

This classification, "Other," within the specified sets category for porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware, captures items not explicitly detailed in other subheadings. It applies to sets where the aggregate value of the articles listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) of this chapter exceeds $56, and specifically, the total aggregate value of these listed articles within the set is over $200. These are typically multi-piece collections of domestic ceramic ware intended for serving food and drink, or for kitchen use, that do not fit into more narrowly defined product groups.

The distinction from sibling category 6911.10.38.10 is critical. While that subheading covers specific items like plates (not over 27.9 cm), teacups and saucers, mugs, and certain bowls, this "Other" category encompasses sets that might include a wider variety of porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware items. The defining characteristic is the overall value threshold of the included components, particularly when the aggregate value of the articles listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) surpasses $200.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code hinges on the precise composition of the set and its adherence to the stipulated aggregate value criteria. Importers should carefully review the contents of their porcelain or china sets against the requirements of additional U.S. note 6(b) and the overall value thresholds to ensure accurate classification under this "Other" provision.
