About HSN 6912
HSN heading 6912 covers ceramic tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and toilet articles made from ordinary ceramic materials such as earthenware, stoneware, terracotta and common pottery — explicitly NOT porcelain or bone china, which sit one heading higher under 6911. In everyday terms, this is where stoneware dinner plates, terracotta water pots and matkas, earthenware curd setters, ceramic mugs and cups, serving bowls, casseroles, baking dishes, ceramic kitchen storage jars, soap dishes, toothbrush holders and ceramic bathroom accessories are classified. The rate under GST 2.0 is 5%, which keeps mass-market crockery and traditional Indian earthenware affordable for households and small kitchens. As a 4-digit heading, 6912 is what a dealer with aggregate turnover up to Rs 5 crore reports on B2B tax invoices; manufacturers, exporters and larger traders drill down into the 6-digit sub-heading (tableware vs kitchenware vs other household vs toilet articles) and the 8-digit tariff item for GSTR-1's HSN summary, e-way bills and shipping bills. Classification tip: if the body is translucent and vitrified, it is porcelain or china and belongs under 6911 at its own rate — confirm with the supplier's material spec, not the marketing label "ceramic".
