6913.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 6913.90, encompasses "Other" statuettes and ornamental ceramic articles that do not fall under the specific classification of porcelain or china (6913.10). This means it covers a broad range of decorative ceramic items, including figurines, small statues, decorative plaques, ceramic animals, and other ornamental pieces primarily intended for display or aesthetic appeal. The key distinguishing factor from its sibling category is the material composition; if an item is not identified as being made of porcelain or china, it will generally be classified here.

The purpose of this broader classification is to capture the wide variety of ceramic decorative items that are not specifically designated as porcelain or china. While 6913.10 focuses on the higher-quality, more refined ceramic types, this category serves as a catch-all for other ornamental ceramic creations. Classification within 6913.90 will depend on the item's ornamental nature and its ceramic composition, excluding items primarily intended for functional use which would be classified elsewhere in Chapter 69.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification of specific types of ornamental ceramic articles. These subcategories often differentiate based on factors such as the method of production, artistic value, or specific item type, allowing for more granular tracking and tariff application. For example, a subcategory might exist for items produced by professional sculptors or those with significant artistic merit, distinguishing them from more mass-produced decorative pieces.
