Ceramic tableware and kitchenware other than porcelain takes heading 6912 of the US tariff, and porcelain and bone china take heading 6911. These lines are written in a way that surprises people, with separate rates for items in or out of sets, and for sets by aggregate value. Coarse-grained earthenware on 6912.00.10 prints 0.7%, hotel or restaurant ware on 6912.00.20 prints 28%, mugs on 6912.00.44 print 10%, and other articles on 6912.00.50 print 6%. The China column is uneven: mugs and other articles show None in our extract, while coarse earthenware shows List 4A: +7.5%. On $10,000 of those other articles, the calculator gives $1,850 (18.5%) from China and $1,000 (10%) from the European Union. Read in 2026 HTS Revision 22 on November 2, 2026.
