Explanation

Heading 6912 names ceramic tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles that aren't porcelain or china. CBP placed the toothbrush holder, a dolomite ceramic piece with two openings that hold toothbrushes, on that heading's line for other articles.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a toothbrush holder?
  • Is it made of dolomite ceramic?
  • Is the ceramic something other than porcelain or china?

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