This HTS subcategory, 6911.10.52.00, encompasses a specific range of porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware characterized by their value per dozen and, for certain items, their dimensions. The classification is determined by precise value thresholds for items such as cups, saucers, soups, oatmeals, cereals, plates of various sizes, platters, sugars, creamers, and beverage servers. For plates, both maximum diameter and value per dozen are critical factors in determining correct classification within this subcategory.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6911.10.58.00, by its lower value brackets. While both subcategories cover similar types of porcelain or china articles, 6911.10.52.00 applies to items that are valued below the higher thresholds specified in 6911.10.58.00. Conversely, it differs from 6911.10.41.00 and 6911.10.45.00 by not specifically enumerating items like steins (unless they fall within the value-defined categories), candy boxes, decanters, or mugs, which are classified under those respective sibling codes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification of goods under 6911.10.52.00 therefore relies entirely on meeting the detailed value and dimensional criteria outlined in its description. Importers must carefully calculate the value per dozen for each article and, where applicable, measure the maximum diameter of plates to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
