HTS tariff line · chapter 69

6906.00.00

Ceramic pipes, conduits, guttering and pipe fittings

Analysis

HTS 6906.00.00 covers ceramic pipes, conduits, guttering and pipe fittings under heading 6906 (ceramic pipes, conduits, guttering and pipe fittings).

There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 27% of the 82 tariff lines in chapter 69 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.

Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.

It is the only US line under subheading 6906.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 6906.00 points straight here.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 327110 (Pottery, Ceramics, and Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing), an industry of 575 US establishments employing 12,082 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.

The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
