Analysis
Heading 6914 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other ceramic articles. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 4 eight-digit tariff lines, with 4 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 9%, applies to 6914.10.80 (of porcelain or china: other).
2 of its 4 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 2 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 9%. The median line pays 2.8%.
The largest subheadings are 6914.10 (of porcelain or china, 2 lines) and 6914.90 (other, 2 lines).
Its median rate of 2.8% sits at the 28th percentile of the headings in chapter 69.
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.
