U.S. imports of sets of assorted kitchenware or tableware without precious metal plating (HS 821520) totaled $6.0M in April 2026, traded with 18 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataUnplated base metal kitchenware and tableware sets — flatware collections, serving-utensil assortments, and mixed kitchen tool sets — are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (8215200000) when no article in the set carries precious metal plating. China and Vietnam together account for the bulk of US imports in this category, with India and Cambodia also significant sources. The heading is a high-volume, price-sensitive segment of the housewares trade, and Chinese-origin goods are subject to Section 301 tariffs, making supplier diversification toward Vietnam and Cambodia a common cost-management strategy.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The heading covers sets of base metal kitchenware or tableware regardless of handle material, provided no article in the set is plated with precious metal. The 10-digit line 8215200000 explicitly includes base metal parts, so mixed-material sets with non-precious-metal components generally remain within this classification.
Importers should obtain a certificate of origin and, where applicable, a manufacturer's affidavit confirming that substantial transformation occurred in the declared country. Given that components may be sourced from China, CBP may scrutinize whether the finishing or assembly operations in Vietnam or Cambodia meet the substantial transformation standard for non-preferential origin purposes.
