HS Code 6913Statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles

What HS code 6913 covers

This heading is for pieces made to be looked at, not used. Think of small statues, figurines, ornaments and other decorative ceramics for a home, shop or office. Buyers may call them giftware or interior decoration ceramics. Customs uses one set of words for all of them.

Some tariff lists call the same heading HSN code 6913. The digits do not change. Only the name of the local list does.

The goods are fired clay products. That is why the heading sits with bricks, tiles and bathroom fixtures. What sets 6913 apart is the purpose of the item. It exists to decorate.

HS 691310 vs 691390: porcelain or other ceramics

The difference between 691310 and 691390 is the material. The code text has no other test.

Use 691310 when the piece is porcelain or china. This is the answer to a common search: what is the HS code for porcelain figurines? Porcelain ornaments go here too.

Use 691390 for the same kind of goods made from any other ceramic body. If you hold a decorative ceramic item that is not porcelain, this is the code to check.

If you are unsure what the body is, ask the maker for the material details. Then compare them with the code text before you file.

How to classify ornamental ceramics: 6913 vs nearby headings

Several nearby headings sound close to 6913. A short decision tree helps. Ask the questions in order, then confirm the result with the HS code classifier.

First, is the item an architectural ornament that is part of a building, such as a decorative piece for a roof or chimney? Then look at 6905. It names architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods.

Second, is the item tableware, kitchenware or a toilet article? Then it is a household article. Heading 6911 covers these when they are porcelain or china. Heading 6912 covers them when they are not.

Third, is the item made mainly to decorate, like a figurine or a statuette? Then it fits 6913.

Last, if a ceramic article fits none of these, heading 6914 holds ceramic articles not elsewhere specified. Use it only after you have ruled out the others. When a piece is both useful and decorative, read each heading text again and check the official notes.
