Product description
You claim that this item should be classified under subheading 6912.00.4100, HTS, the provision for ceramic tidbit dishes, on the basis that the dish could be used to hold and serve tidbits such as candy, pretzels, nuts, etc. However, since ramekin dishes are principally used as indivdual baking and serving dishes, classification under the subheading you suggest is precluded.
