HS Code 690911

HS code 690911 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Ceramic wares for laboratory, chemical or other technical uses; ceramic troughs, tubs and similar receptacles of a kind used in agriculture; ceramic pots, jars and similar articles of a kind used for the conveyance or packing of goods : Ceramic wares for laboratory, chemical or other technical uses : Of porcelain or china". The first two digits (69) are the chapter — Ceramic products — and digits 3-4 (6909) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 690911 include lab porcelain, porcelain crucible, mortar and pestle, ceramic labware, chemical porcelain, porcelain dish and similar items matching of porcelain or china. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (690911) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
