It possesses a round-shaped body sans handle and features sides that taper to a base measuring nearly 1 5/8 inches in diameter. Further, it has a top exterior decorated with fired-on decals consisting of gold and white five pointed stars and gold and white dots depicting stars in the distance. It is stated to be valued over $5.25 per dozen.

The applicable subheading for this ceramic teacup will be 6912.00.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other ceramic tablewareother than of porcelain or chinacups valued over $5.25 per dozen. The rate of duty will be 4.5 percent ad valorem which will remain the same beginning in January of 2002.
