Four versions of the Halloween Face GEMHTS 3926.90.4000[o]ther articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: [o]ther: [i]mitation gemstones

Explanation

Heading 3926 names other articles of plastics, and CBP placed the face gems on the line for imitation gemstones; each set is made of faceted, self-adhesive plastic gemstones that are worn on the face.

Does this apply to your product?

It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:

  • Is it made of individual plastic gemstones?
  • Are the gemstones faceted and self-adhesive?
  • Are they worn on the face to form a mask?

A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
