The Product
- A plastic nasal aspirator a parent or caregiver uses to remove excess mucus from an infant's nose.
- Made up of a large tube with a tapered end, a disposable filter, a filter cap, a tube and a mouthpiece.
- Works by suction: the user sucks on the mouthpiece and the mucus collects in the large tube.
- The filter stops mucus from reaching the mouthpiece. It has no mechanical features.
CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| NoseFrida SnotSucker nasal aspirator | HTS 3926.90.9989 | Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other: Other |
Explanation
CBP found the SnotSucker is an article of plastic. Nothing else in the tariff describes it more specifically, so it falls under heading 3926, other articles of plastics, on the catch-all line for articles the heading doesn't name.
Headings CBP ruled out
- heading 8414, air or vacuum pumps: The aspirator has no mechanical features, so CBP excluded it from chapter 84 and from heading 8414.
- heading 3926, the specific line for ice bags, enema bags and syringes: That subheading lists specific articles (ice bags, douche and enema bags, hot water bottles, syringes and the like), and the aspirator isn't one of them.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a nasal aspirator made of plastic?
- Does it work only by the user's suction on a mouthpiece, with no mechanical parts?
- Does a filter keep the mucus in a tube and away from the mouthpiece?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
