6911.10.80 - Other

This HTS classification covers "Other" tableware and kitchenware made of porcelain or china, specifically falling under the broader category of "Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china." This designation is applied when the articles do not fit into more specific subheadings within the 6911.10 series. It serves as a residual category for porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware that is not explicitly defined by the preceding sibling categories.

Unlike sibling categories such as 6911.10.41.00 (which details specific items like steins, decanters, and serving dishes), 6911.10.45.00 (mugs and other steins), 6911.10.52.00 and 6911.10.58.00 (which differentiate by value for cups, saucers, plates, sugars, creamers, and beverage servers), and 6911.10.60.00 (serviette rings), this "Other" category is for items not enumerated or differentiated by price points in those specific subheadings. It captures a diverse range of porcelain or china articles used for serving or preparing food and beverages that do not have a more precise classification.

The subcategories within 6911.10.80 further refine this classification. 6911.10.80.10 is designated for items suitable for direct contact with food or drink, implying a focus on hygiene and safety for consumption. Conversely, 6911.10.80.90 encompasses all other porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware that do not meet the criteria for food or drink contact, or that are not otherwise specified. This distinction is crucial for trade regulations and product safety standards.
