Explanation

Heading 3926 names other articles of plastics, and CBP placed the display model on the line for other articles of plastics; the model is a hollow shell of molded plastic with no mechanical or electronic parts. It copies the size, shape and finish of a Roomba but can't vacuum, and it's meant only for display in stores.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a non-working display model made of molded plastic?
  • Is it a hollow shell with no mechanical or electronic parts inside?
  • Is it meant only for display in stores, so shoppers can see and handle it?

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