6912.00.35 - In any pattern for which the aggregate value of the articles listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) of this chapter is not over $38

This HTS classification, 6912.00.35, pertains to ceramic tableware, kitchenware, and other household articles, excluding porcelain or china, that are sold in specified sets. The defining characteristic of this category is the value threshold for the aggregate value of articles listed in additional U.S. note 6(b) of Chapter 69. Specifically, goods classified under 6912.00.35 have an aggregate value *not over $38* for these designated articles. This ensures that sets with a lower overall value are distinct for tariff purposes.

This subcategory is differentiated from its sibling, 6912.00.39, by this exact value criterion. The sibling category, 6912.00.39, covers ceramic sets where the aggregate value of the articles specified in additional U.S. note 6(b) *exceeds $38*. Therefore, the determination of whether a set falls into 6912.00.35 or 6912.00.39 hinges solely on this aggregate value calculation.

Within 6912.00.35, further subdivisions are provided to offer more granular classification. The subcategory 6912.00.35.10 specifically covers sets that include plates not exceeding 27.9 cm in maximum dimension, teacups and saucers, mugs, and soups, fruits, and cereals (the latter not exceeding 22.9 cm in maximum dimension). All other sets falling under the 6912.00.35 umbrella, but not meeting the specific item descriptions of 6912.00.35.10, are classified under the residual subcategory 6912.00.35.50, referred to as "Other."
