Last updated: April 2026 dataIndividually sold, unplated tableware and kitchen articles form the broadest and most commercially active segment of the housewares import trade, encompassing everything from stainless steel mixing bowls to ceramic-coated bakeware sold as single units. The material composition — stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic, glass, or other base metals — drives both the specific HTS subheading and any applicable Section 301 or antidumping exposure. Because this is a residual 'not in sets, not plated' category, importers must confirm that neither set-packaging nor precious metal plating applies before using it.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, provided the coating is not a precious metal (gold, silver, platinum, etc.). Non-precious coatings such as enamel, PTFE (nonstick), or powder coat do not affect classification into this heading. The precious-metal-plating exclusion is the operative test, not the presence of any coating.
Importers should retain commercial invoices, packing lists, and retail packaging samples showing that articles are individually priced and packaged for sale as single units. If goods arrive in assorted cartons, CBP may scrutinize whether the assortment constitutes a set, so clear unit-level pricing and packaging evidence is advisable.
