Last updated: July 2026 dataFixed-blade table knives are classified at the 10-digit level by handle material and construction — silver-plated handles (8211911000), stainless steel handles with nickel or over-10% manganese content subdivided by unit value and length (8211912000, 8211912500, 8211913000, 8211914000), rubber or plastic handles distinguishing steak knives (8211915030) from other table knives (8211915060), and residual handle types for steak knives (8211918030) and other table knives (8211918060). China leads US imports by a wide margin, with Germany and Japan supplying premium-tier flatware. The granular handle-material breakouts make accurate classification dependent on precise product specifications.

The stainless steel handle lines (8211912000 through 8211914000) apply when the handle is stainless steel containing nickel or over 10% manganese. Within those lines, further splits depend on unit value (under or over 25 cents each) and blade length (not over 25.9 cm). If the handle is stainless steel but does not meet those alloy criteria, or if the handle is another metal, wood, or composite, the knife falls into the residual handle lines (8211918030 or 8211918060).
The US schedule explicitly carves out steak knives as a separate classification within the rubber/plastic handle group (8211915030) and the residual handle group (8211918030). CBP generally treats a steak knife as a fixed-blade table knife with a serrated or pointed blade designed for cutting meat at the table. Importers should ensure product descriptions on commercial invoices clearly identify steak knives separately from other table knife styles to avoid misclassification.
