7114.11.45.00 - Sets of the foregoing which include two or more knives, forks, spoons or ladles 🖩

This HTS classification, 7114.11.45.00, specifically covers sets of cutlery and serving utensils made of silver, or silver plated with other precious metals, where the set comprises two or more distinct items from the group of knives, forks, spoons, or ladles. This category focuses on the collective presentation of these items as a coordinated set, rather than individual pieces.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling entries. For instance, 7114.11.10.00 and 7114.11.20.00 address individual knives and forks with silver handles, respectively. Similarly, individual spoons and ladles of silver fall under a different sibling category. This classification, 7114.11.45.00, is exclusively for combinations of these items sold or presented together as a set.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 7114.11.45.00 relies entirely on confirming that the goods constitute a set of two or more silver knives, forks, spoons, or ladles, and that these items are not separately classified elsewhere (e.g., as part of a larger article or a specialized functional set not covered by this general cutlery description). The material composition of silver, whether solid or plated with other precious metals, remains a primary defining characteristic.
