Tableware, kitchenware, other household and toilet articles, of porcelain or china.
What falls under HS 6911?
Products commonly classified under this heading include:
- porcelain plates and bowls
- mugs and cups
- ceramic serveware
These are examples, not a classification ruling. The exact code — and your duty rate — depend on the finished product and your destination country.
What moves your duty rate?
For goods under HS 6911, the rate you pay usually turns on:
- porcelain/china vs other ceramic
- whether decorated
- destination country and any anti-dumping measures on ceramics
Duties vary widely by the full commodity code and destination. This page is a starting point — verify the rate with your customs broker before you commit.
Estimate your landed cost
Once you have a duty rate from your broker or the tariff schedule, put it into the landed-cost calculator with your product cost and freight to see the all-in number per unit. For the category-specific questions — supplier checks, compliance, freight — see the buyer's guide: Importing kitchenware from China.
