Explanation

Heading 6912 covers ceramic tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, other than of porcelain or china. CBP placed the glazed ceramic dolomite canisters on that heading's line for other tableware and kitchenware.

Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it a glazed ceramic canister for storing household items?
  • Is the ceramic dolomite, rather than porcelain or china?
  • Is it meant for a home bathroom, to hold bathroom products?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
