8211.10.00.00 - Sets of assorted articles 🖩

HTS Code 8211.10.00.00 specifically covers sets of assorted articles within the broader category of knives with cutting blades. This classification applies when multiple different types of knives, or knives combined with other implements such as forks or spoons, are presented together as a single unit for retail sale or import. The key distinguishing factor is the assortment; the individual items within the set may vary in design, size, or intended use.

This category is distinct from its sibling category, "Other," which would encompass individual knives with cutting blades, or parts thereof, that are not presented as part of an assorted set. For instance, a single kitchen knife or a set of identical steak knives would fall under a different subheading. The defining characteristic for 8211.10.00.00 is the multiplicity of different articles making up a single offering.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Therefore, classification under 8211.10.00.00 hinges on the direct determination that the imported goods are a collection of assorted knives, or knives with other utensils, presented as a single unit. Classification requires careful examination of the contents of the set to ensure all components meet the general description of knives or related base metal cutlery.
