What decides the code
Measuring cups are classified as kitchenware by material. Plastic cups fall under heading 3924 and stainless steel cups fall under heading 7323.
- Material decides the heading. Plastic measuring cups classify under 3924.10.40.00 as plastic tableware and kitchenware.
- Stainless steel measuring cups classify under 7323.93.00.60 as kitchen ware of stainless steel.
- A measuring cup of another metal, such as aluminum, does not fit heading 7323 and moves to a different heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying plastic measuring cups under 3924.90 is wrong because that subheading covers other household articles, not tableware and kitchenware.
- Classifying stainless steel measuring cups under 7323.99 is wrong because that subheading covers articles other than of stainless steel.
- Classifying measuring cups under 9017 is wrong because that heading covers drawing and measuring instruments, not kitchen measuring cups.
