What HS 6914.10 covers

It often includes highly specialized or niche items, ranging from industrial components to unique laboratory ware or specific decorative pieces that don't fit into more defined categories like tableware or statuettes. Importers and exporters in this sector typically include specialized manufacturers, scientific equipment suppliers, and high-end industrial distributors. The trade in these goods is characterized by the high quality and specific properties of porcelain and china, such as chemical resistance, high strength, and aesthetic appeal.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
