6911.10.80.90 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 6911.10.80.90, encompasses "Other" articles within the broader category of tableware and kitchenware made from porcelain or china. Specifically, it captures those items that do not fall under the more narrowly defined "Suitable for food or drink contact" category. This typically includes items such as decorative plates, serving platters that may not be intended for direct food contact, or novelty ceramic kitchenware not designed for primary use in preparing or consuming food or beverages.

The distinction from its sibling category, 6911.10.80.10, hinges on the intended use and direct contact with food or drink. While both are derived from porcelain or china and are considered tableware or kitchenware, this classification is for items where direct food or beverage contact is not the primary design purpose or a defining characteristic for customs assessment. If an item can be used for food or drink but its primary design or marketing points to decorative or secondary functional purposes, it would likely fall here.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of an article under 6911.10.80.90 will depend on a thorough assessment of its physical characteristics, intended use as per its design and marketing, and whether it meets the specific exclusion criteria of the "Suitable for food or drink contact" designation. The key is to determine if the article's primary function is other than direct food or beverage service or preparation, even if incidental contact might occur.
