HS code for ceramic planters
Ceramic planters usually ship under 6912.00. Here is the full US code, the duty, the customs description to use, and what would make it a different code.
Based on the example: “Ceramic plant pot with drainage hole” (earthenware).
Why this code
This is a glazed clay plant pot for houseplants, which is a household ceramic article that is not tableware or kitchenware. It falls under the general ceramic household articles line.

Estimate for a parcel sent by post, using US rates collected since 24 July 2026 (rates dated 2026-10-22). Since 9 July 2026 Etsy asks sellers outside the US to include this duty in their US price. Upload your shop to see it per product and variation.
Shipping ceramic planters to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 6912.00. Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a flat €3 duty for each different type of item in a parcel worth €150 or less, so ceramic planters in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
