What is the HTS code for a plastic extension handle for a razor?

HTS code

3926.90.2500

CBP classified a 3D-printed plastic extension handle that holds a cartridge razor for back shaving under HTS 3926.90.2500 in ruling N349961. That line covers handles and knobs of plastics that no other heading names. CBP found that the item functions as a handle, so the earlier, more specific line in heading 3926 applies.

CBP's Ruling

ItemHTS codeCBP's description of the line
Plastic extension handleHTS 3926.90.2500[o]ther articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: [o]ther: [h]andles and knobs, not elsewhere specified or included, of plastics

Explanation

CBP found that the item functions as a handle. Heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics, and one of its lines names handles and knobs of plastics not elsewhere specified or included. CBP placed the extension handle on that line; the handle is made of PLA plastic, and it holds a cartridge razor for back shaving.

Headings CBP ruled out

  • The requester's suggested subheading, a general other line in heading 3926: CBP noted that the suggested subheading expired on July 1, 2020, and found that a handle is more specifically described by an earlier line in heading 3926.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is the item a handle?
  • Is it made of plastic?
  • Is it an extension handle that holds a standard cartridge razor?
  • Is it free of electrical components and mechanical features?

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