6912.00.10.00 - Of coarse-grained earthenware, or of coarse- grained stoneware; of fine-grained earthenware, whether or not decorated, having a reddish-colored body and a lustrous glaze which, on teapots, may be any color, but which, on other articles, must be mottled, streaked or solidly colored brown to black with metallic oxide or salt 🖩

This HTS code encompasses a specific range of ceramic tableware and kitchenware that are not made of porcelain or china. It includes articles crafted from coarse-grained earthenware or coarse-grained stoneware. Furthermore, it extends to fine-grained earthenware that possesses a reddish-colored body and a lustrous glaze. For teapots, this glaze can be of any color. However, for other articles within this category, the lustrous glaze must be mottled, streaked, or solidly colored brown to black, achieved through the use of metallic oxide or salt.

This classification is distinct from other potential sibling categories by its precise material and glaze specifications. While other categories at this level might cover general "Other" ceramic tableware and kitchenware, this code requires the presence of specific earthenware or stoneware characteristics and defined glaze attributes. The reddish body color and the specific brown-to-black metallic oxide or salt-based glaze (or any color for teapots) are key differentiating factors.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level depends entirely on accurately identifying the material composition (coarse-grained earthenware/stoneware, or fine-grained earthenware with a reddish body) and the specific characteristics of the lustrous glaze as detailed in the description. Examples of goods falling here include certain types of earthenware mugs, plates, bowls, and serving dishes that meet these material and glaze criteria.
