Last updated: August 2026 dataPorcelain and china household and toilet articles not elsewhere specified — including soap dishes, toothbrush holders, and similar bathroom accessories — are split in the US schedule between toilet articles (6911900010) and other household articles (6911900050). China is the dominant supplier, with France, Italy, and the United Kingdom contributing premium decorative and branded lines. Correct classification hinges on distinguishing these articles from tableware (heading 6911.10) and ornamental articles (heading 6913.10), as the end-use and decorative function of a piece can place it in any of the three headings.

107 import shipments a month
In US customs practice, toilet articles of porcelain or china (6911900010) are items associated with personal hygiene and grooming — such as soap dishes, toothbrush holders, and similar bathroom accessories. Household articles (6911900050) cover a broader range of domestic-use items not classifiable as tableware or ornamental goods. When a product serves both decorative and functional purposes, the primary use at the time of importation typically governs classification; a binding ruling from CBP can resolve ambiguous cases.
Mixed shipments should be itemized on the commercial invoice by article type, with each category declared under its respective 10-digit HTS line (6911900010 for toilet articles, 6911900050 for other household articles). Lumping all items under one line risks misclassification and potential CBP examination. Consult a licensed customs broker to structure the entry correctly.
