HTS heading 6913 groups ceramic articles made mainly for decoration or display, including statuettes and similar ornamental objects. The heading is about the article’s function and material: it generally covers ceramic pieces intended to be ornamental rather than primarily used as tableware, kitchenware, sanitaryware, or another utilitarian product.
To select a specific code, start with the heading and then read the more detailed subheadings beneath it. These commonly distinguish the ceramic material or type of article, such as porcelain or other ceramic material, and may further separate statuettes from other ornamental articles. Confirm the complete U.S. HTSUS code, including any statistical suffix, because the product description must match the article’s actual composition, construction, and principal use.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is ceramic and is principally ornamental, rather than functional tableware, a household article, a toy, or another product category.
- Identify the material precisely: check whether the item is porcelain or china, another type of ceramic, or a composite product with non-ceramic parts.
- Decide whether the article is a statuette or another ornamental ceramic article, using the product’s design and intended use rather than its marketing name alone.
- Review the full HTSUS hierarchy and the legal notes, including the exact 8-digit provision and any applicable statistical suffix.
- Keep product photographs, specifications, composition information, and intended-use evidence; ask a customs broker or seek a binding classification decision if the facts fit more than one provision.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
