Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6911 when importing porcelain or china tableware and kitchenware, such as dinner plates or teapots. This heading includes items designed for everyday use in homes and restaurants.

When deciding between HS-6 691110 and HS-6 691190, consider the primary function of your products. If you’re importing porcelain plates, bowls, or cookware, classify them under 691110. However, if your shipment includes other household articles like soap dishes or toilet brushes, use 691190.
