CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic sterilizer bag, item number B11659 | HTS 3924.90.5650 | Tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles, of plastics: Other: Other. Other. |
Explanation
Heading 3924 names tableware, kitchenware, other household articles and hygienic or toilet articles of plastics. CBP placed the sterilizer bag on the heading's line for other articles; the bag is made of silicone plastic with a foamed polypropylene handle, and it's used in a microwave to steam clean breast pump and baby bottle parts.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a reusable bag made of silicone plastic?
- Is it made to steam clean baby bottle or breast pump parts in a microwave?
- Does it close with a latch to hold the parts and water inside?
- Is it sold on its own, without the bottle or pump parts?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
