Classification of porcelain figurines under HS 6913.10
Porcelain figurines are classified under HS code 6913.10. This classification is found in Chapter 69 (Ceramic products). Heading 6913 is dedicated to statuettes and other ornamental ceramic articles. These items are distinguished from functional tableware or kitchenware by their primary purpose, which is decorative or aesthetic. Subheading 6913.10 specifically covers such ornamental items when they are manufactured from porcelain or china. To qualify for this code, the article must be primarily for interior decoration, such as in homes, offices, or public buildings. The material must meet the technical definition of porcelain, being a hard, fine-grained, and usually translucent ceramic. This heading includes not only free-standing figurines but also ornamental items designed to be hung on walls or placed in niches. The classification remains 6913.10 regardless of whether the figurine is painted, glazed, or left in a biscuit (unglazed) state. It is the ornamental nature and the porcelain material that dictate this specific HS code, separating it from functional porcelain items or ornaments made of lesser ceramic materials.

Codes often confused with 6913.10
Common mistake. Porcelain figurines are often misclassified under 6911.10, which is for tableware and kitchenware. While a decorative plate might look like an ornament, if it is of a type used for the table, it stays in 6911. Another common error is using 6912.00, which is for ceramic tableware and ornaments made of materials other than porcelain (like earthenware). If the item is a functional article rather than an ornament, it may fall under 6914.10.

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).
