What is the HTS code for plastic CD and DVD storage sleeves?

HTS code

3926.90.9989

CBP classified polypropylene sleeves that store CDs and DVDs under HTS 3926.90.9989 in ruling N345224. That line covers other articles of plastics that no other heading describes more specifically. CBP turned down the requester's proposed line for plastic office or school supplies because media discs are used less in offices and schools than they once were.

The Product

  • Sleeves made of polypropylene plastic, with a spun-bond non-woven protective liner.
  • Made to store media discs such as CDs and DVDs; versions hold one, two, three or four discs.
  • Four of the five sleeves have margin holes for use in media storage binders.
  • One single-disc sleeve has an adhesive backing so it can be stuck to a surface.

CBP's Ruling

ItemHTS codeCBP's description of the line
Media storage sleeves, item numbers 14429, 14430, 14431, 14432 and 27031HTS 3926.90.9989[o]ther articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: [o]ther: [o]ther: [o]ther

Explanation

CBP found the sleeves are articles of plastic that no other heading describes more specifically, so they fall under heading 3926, other articles of plastics.

Within that heading, CBP put the sleeves on the residual line for other articles rather than on the line for office or school supplies. The letter treats the office or school supplies line as a principal use provision and finds the sleeves don't meet it.

Headings CBP ruled out

  • heading 3926, the line for office or school supplies of plastics: Media discs are used less in business and school settings than in past decades, the sleeves sell on general internet marketplaces, and they hold music CDs, movie DVDs and video game discs too.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a sleeve made of plastic, such as polypropylene?
  • Is it made to hold media discs such as CDs or DVDs?
  • Is it sold to general buyers rather than only for office or school use?

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