What is the HTS code for plastic hanger clips?

HTS code

3926.90.9989

CBP classified plastic flocked hanger clips under HTS 3926.90.9989 in ruling N343275. The clips are molded plastic and attach to the bottom bar of a suit hanger to hold pants or skirts. CBP found them to be articles of plastic not more specifically covered elsewhere, so they fall on the line for other articles of plastics.

Explanation

CBP found the clips to be articles of plastic. Heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics, and the letter says the clips aren't more specifically provided for anywhere else, so they fall under that heading. Within it, CBP placed the clips on 3926.90.9989, the line for other articles of plastics.

The letter also notes that these clips are similar to the ones in N342454 and classifies them in the same manner.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a clip made of molded plastic?
  • Does it attach to a hanger so pants or skirts can hang from it?
  • Is it sold on its own, without the hanger?

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