Lenox Pearl Platinum 12-Piece Dinner Set from Mexico

This porcelain dinner set includes 12 plates, cups, saucers, and bowls in the elegant Pearl Platinum pattern, fired to achieve a translucent white body with less than 0.5% water absorption. It qualifies for HTS 6911.10.37 as it's available in specified sets with aggregate value of listed articles (12 dinner plates, 12 salad plates, etc.) over $56 but not over $200 per set. The fine china construction meets porcelain definitions for tableware used in serving food.

Import Tips

• Verify the pattern includes all US Note 6(b) articles (12 dinner plates ~26.7cm, 12 salad ~15.3cm, 12 cups/saucers, etc.) sold together to qualify as 'specified sets'

• Calculate aggregate value per set using CBP section 402 valuation; declare accurately to avoid reclassification to higher duty subheadings

• Provide lab certification for <0.5% water absorption per ASTM C373 to confirm porcelain/china status and prevent earthenware misclassification
