Analysis
Heading 6913 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 7 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
5 of its 7 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (71%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6%. The median line pays duty-free.
The spread of 6 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6%, applies to 6913.90.50 (other: other).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 13th percentile of the headings in chapter 69.
The largest subheadings are 6913.90 (other, 4 lines) and 6913.10 (of porcelain or china, 3 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Pottery, Ceramics, and Plumbing Fixture Manufacturing (327110). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
