HTS heading 6914 is a broad product category for “other ceramic articles.” It generally covers ceramic goods that are not more specifically described in other headings, such as certain ceramic household, decorative, technical, or similar articles. The heading is a starting point—not the final classification for an import.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 6914 rather than a more specific ceramic heading. Then use the subheading structure and product facts—such as the article’s type, intended use, composition, finish, and whether it is porcelain, china, or another ceramic material—to select the more specific code. The official HTSUS description, legal notes, and classification rulings control; unusual or borderline products may require a customs broker’s judgment.
What to check
- Describe the item precisely, including its function, dimensions, construction, finish, and intended use.
- Confirm that another HTS heading does not specifically cover the article before using heading 6914.
- Check the subheadings for distinctions based on article type or ceramic material, including porcelain or china where relevant.
- Compare the product’s actual composition and manufacturing method with the official HTSUS wording and applicable legal notes.
- Keep photographs, specifications, bills of materials, and prior binding rulings or broker advice supporting the classification.

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.
