What determines the tariff number?
- Material of the kitchenware. Kitchenware made from plastic, ceramic, or porcelain is classified differently. Material is the primary determinant of the product group and HS code.
- Intended use (table or kitchen). Items designed for table or kitchen use follow distinct classification rules. This is a core distinction in Swiss tariff nomenclature for household goods.
- Additional functions or features. Basic tableware differs from multifunctional cooking equipment. Special features or extended uses can shift the tariff classification.
- Manufacturing and finish. Processing quality and shaping—particularly for porcelain items—may refine the exact classification within the product category.
