The applicable subheading for the cheese serving set will be 8211.10.0000 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for knives with cutting blades, serrated or not…sets of assorted articles.

In this case, the rate of duty of the knives, 0.8 cents each (per piece) plus 4.6 percent ad valorem under HTS 8211.92.2000 will be the highest and will therefore apply to the whole set.
