CHAPTER

In plain English

This category includes small statues and other decorative items made from ceramic materials. The classification separates these goods based on the specific type of clay used. One group consists of pieces crafted from porcelain or china. The remaining items fall into a different group because they are not made from those specific materials.

Chapter 69 classification notes

Ceramic tiles from China face significant anti-dumping duties in the US (up to 222%) and EU. Weight-based transport costs are significant for ceramics. Porcelain vs stoneware classification affects duty rate.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Porcelain (vitrified, translucent) vs stoneware (opaque, not fully vitrified) — the distinction affects classification and sometimes duty rate.
