8215.10.00.00 - Sets of assorted articles containing at least one article plated with precious metal 🖩

This HTS category, 8215.10.00.00, specifically covers sets of assorted kitchen or tableware that contain at least one article plated with precious metal. These sets are distinct from other assortments within heading 8215 due to the inclusion of precious metal plating on at least one component. The precious metal can be gold, silver, platinum, or other noble metals. The overall composition of the set can include articles made from base metal, and the presence of the precious metal plating is the defining characteristic for classification under this code.

This category differentiates itself from its sibling, 8215.20.00.00, which pertains to "Other sets of assorted articles." The sibling category encompasses mixed sets of kitchen or tableware where none of the included articles are plated with precious metal. Therefore, the key distinction lies in the presence or absence of precious metal plating on any item within the assorted set. If a set contains non-precious metal plated items alongside items with precious metal plating, it is classified here.

As 8215.10.00.00 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is determined by the composition of the set, particularly the inclusion of at least one article with precious metal plating, irrespective of whether other articles in the set are also plated or made from base metal. The "Other:" sibling likely refers to individual items not covered by specific subheadings within 8215, but this does not apply to the detailed classification of sets.
