CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Dummy electronics: keyboard, office phone and mouse | HTS 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 that the dummy keyboard, office phone and mouse are articles of plastic. Because no other heading covers them more specifically, CBP placed them under heading 3926, other articles of plastics, on its residual line for other articles. The items are plastic throughout and have no electronic components.
Headings CBP ruled out
- Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles (proposed by the requester): CBP said the items aren't associated with or linked to any festive occasion and aren't used or displayed during one.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a non-working dummy version of an electronic device, such as a keyboard, phone or mouse?
- Is it made of plastic?
- Does it lack any electronic components?
- Is it unconnected to any holiday or festive occasion?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
