6912.00.48.90 - Other

This HTS category, 6912.00.48.90, encompasses "Other" ceramic tableware, kitchenware, household articles, and toilet articles that do not fall into more specific subcategories. It serves as a residual classification for ceramic items within Chapter 69 that are not explicitly defined elsewhere. This includes a broad range of utilitarian and decorative ceramic goods not intended for contact with food or drink.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6912.00.48.10, is crucial. The sibling category is specifically for ceramic tableware and kitchenware that is "Suitable for food or drink contact." Therefore, this residual category is for ceramic articles that are *not* designed or intended for such direct contact. This might include decorative items, serving pieces not meant to directly hold food, or household articles with different primary functions.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification of items under 6912.00.48.90 will therefore rely heavily on a careful analysis of the item's physical characteristics, intended use, and whether it meets the criteria for inclusion in more narrowly defined HTS categories. If an item is ceramic, is for household use, and does not fit into any other designated category, it will likely be classified here.
