HS code for Ceramic coffee mug
HS 2022Destination GBConfidence 0.60Reviewed by a second modelCeramic tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, other than of porcelain or china
Section XIII: Articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica or similar materials; ceramic products; glass and glassware · Chapter 69: Ceramic products · Heading 6912: Ceramic tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, other than of porcelain or china
Why this code
A coffee mug is a ceramic household tableware article fired after shaping (Chapter 69 Note 1), so it falls under heading 6911 or 6912 rather than 6913 or 6914. Heading 6913 is for ornamental articles and 6914 for other ceramics; both are less specific. The deciding question is the ceramic body. Listings described generically as 'ceramic mug' are most commonly stoneware or earthenware, which places it in 6912 (other than porcelain or china). If the mug is porcelain or bone china, it would instead go to 691110 (tableware and kitchenware of porcelain). Because this is unconfirmed, the classification needs review.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 69 Note 1.
Alternatives considered
| Code | Description | Why not |
|---|---|---|
| 6911.10 | Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china > Tableware and kitchenware | Applies only if the mug is porcelain or china (vitrified, translucent body); the material is not stated. |
| 6913.90 | Statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles > Other | Covers ornamental articles; a coffee mug is a utilitarian drinking vessel. |
| 6914.90 | Other ceramic articles > Other | Residual heading, excluded because 6912 specifically covers ceramic household tableware. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Is the mug made of porcelain or bone china, or of stoneware or earthenware?
- Is the ceramic body vitrified and translucent, with water absorption below about 0.5%?

Tableware and kitchenware > Other > Other
Confidence 0.30. The item is a ceramic coffee mug, which is tableware under 6912.00, but the ceramic body (common pottery, stoneware, earthenware or porcelain) is not stated, so the residual 'Tableware and kitchenware > Other > Other' line is the only defensible choice; needs_review should be true because the body type and hand-made status are unknown.
