HS code for porcelain mugs
Porcelain mugs usually ship under 6911.10. 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: “Printed porcelain mug” (porcelain).
Why this code
This is a porcelain drinking mug, so it falls under porcelain tableware. The printed design does not change that. It is not a set or hotel ware, so it lands on the mugs line.
Official tariff textTableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles, of porcelain or china > Tableware and kitchenware > Other > Other > Other > Mugs and other steins
When it would be a different code
One detail decides it: Is this mug sold as part of a matching set (for example, several pieces in one pattern), or as a single mug? (Single mug / Part of a matching set)

Estimate for a parcel sent by post, using US rates collected since 24 July 2026 (rates dated 2026-10-23). 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 porcelain mugs to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 6911.10. 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 porcelain mugs in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
