6912.00.35.10 - Plates not over 27.9 cm in maximum dimension; teacups and saucers; mugs; soups, fruits and cereals, the foregoing not over 22.9 cm in maximum dimension

This HTS subheading specifically classifies ceramic tableware and kitchenware that is sold in sets, where the aggregate value of the articles enumerated in Additional U.S. Note 6(b) of Chapter 69 does not exceed $38. These sets are intended for dining and serving purposes and may include items like plates, teacups, saucers, mugs, and serving dishes with specific size limitations. The key determining factor for inclusion in this category is the combined value of certain listed items within the set meeting the specified monetary threshold.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6912.00.35.50, by the price limitation. While both cover ceramic tableware and kitchenware in specified sets, this subheading applies exclusively to those sets where the aggregate value of the designated articles remains below or equal to $38. The sibling category encompasses all other such sets, regardless of their value.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level hinges on the precise composition of the set and the aggregated value of the specified articles according to the relevant U.S. note. Importers must carefully calculate this aggregate value to ensure accurate classification.
