What decides the code
A coffee mug is classified as ceramic tableware in heading 6911 if porcelain or china, and in heading 6912 if other ceramic such as stoneware.
- Body material decides the heading. Porcelain or china goes to 6911.10.45.00. Other ceramic such as stoneware goes to 6912.00.44.00.
- Use as tableware or kitchenware keeps the mug in these headings. A decorative-only article with no drinking use falls outside them.
- The mug form itself, a handled drinking vessel, places the item in the mugs and other steins subheading under either heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a stoneware mug in 6911.10.45.00 is wrong because heading 6911 covers only porcelain or china, not other ceramic.
- Classifying a porcelain mug in 6912.00.44.00 is wrong because heading 6912 excludes porcelain and china articles.
- Classifying a ceramic mug as a glass article is wrong because the body is ceramic, not glass.
