If with electric heating element
Electrified kitchenware like electric kettles excludes from Chapter 69 per chapter exclusions to Chapter 94.
If available in specified sets with required components
Patterns sold with 12 plates, cups, etc., per US Note (b) classify as sets under lower-value subheadings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document lid and pot as one 'article' per US Note to headings 6911; separate import risks higher duties or reclassification
• Test for bone chinaware (25%+ calcined bone) if claimed, as it affects value-based duties in related subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking industrial use; retail-ready presentation supports tableware classification
