Last updated: April 2026 dataPorcelain and china articles not elsewhere specified in Chapter 69 serve a wide range of industrial and technical applications, with the US schedule distinguishing ceramic ferrules and related precision components (6914104000) from other miscellaneous porcelain articles (6914108000). Italy leads US import supply under this heading, reflecting its strength in technical ceramics and specialty industrial components. The NESOI designation means classification here is appropriate only after confirming the article does not fit a more specific heading in Chapters 69 or elsewhere in the tariff schedule.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ceramic ferrules of porcelain or china (6914104000) are precision cylindrical components used primarily in fiber-optic connectors to align and protect optical fibers. They require tight dimensional tolerances and are manufactured from high-purity alumina or zirconia-doped porcelain. Their dedicated line reflects both their distinct technical specification and their commercial significance in telecommunications infrastructure supply chains.
The NESOI rule requires that classification under 6914.10 be used only as a last resort after systematically ruling out more specific headings. For example, porcelain electrical insulators belong in Chapter 85, porcelain laboratory ware in Chapter 70 or 69.09, and porcelain tableware in 69.11. Importers should review the article's primary function and consult the relevant chapter notes and Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System before defaulting to the NESOI line.
