Of bone china and soft porcelain
Tableware and kitchenware of bone china and soft porcelain
HSN 6911 10 11 (tableware and kitchenware of bone china and soft porcelain) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other ceramic tableware and kitchenware classified elsewhere in Chapter 69 — particularly articles of non-porcelain ceramics — may attract separate compliance requirements.
The absence of compliance at this tariff line is specific to bone china and soft porcelain tableware and kitchenware; sibling lines covering other porcelain or china household articles, toilet articles, or non-porcelain ceramic products within Chapter 69 carry their own classification logic and may be subject to Quality Control Orders. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, where the ceramic composition does not meet the technical definition of bone china or soft porcelain — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Verify the precise ceramic composition and product category against the customs tariff schedule before relying on the absence of compliance here.
