6913.90.10.00 - Statues, statuettes and handmade flowers, valued over $2.50 each and produced by professional sculptors or directly from molds made from original models produced by professional sculptors

This HTS subheading specifically covers ceramic articles intended for ornament or decoration, excluding those explicitly covered by more specific headings. This category encompasses a wide range of decorative ceramic items such as figurines, statuettes, vases, decorative plates, and other ornamental pieces. The key determining factors for classification within this subheading are the article's ornamental purpose and its ceramic composition.

While this subheading broadly covers ornamental ceramic articles, it is important to distinguish it from potentially overlapping categories. For instance, functional ceramic articles, even if decorative, would likely be classified elsewhere based on their primary use (e.g., tableware, sanitary ware). The focus here is on items primarily intended for aesthetic display or decorative enhancement.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 6913.90.10.00 represents a specific classification for certain types of statuettes and ornamental ceramic articles. It is defined by its value ($2.50 each or more) and its production method, requiring professional sculptor involvement in the creation of original models from which molds are made. This distinguishes these items from mass-produced or less artistically intricate ceramic ornaments.
