CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Daddy remote control case | 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 Remote Daddy is an article of plastic that no other heading of the tariff describes more specifically, so it falls under heading 3926, other articles of plastics. Within that heading CBP placed it on the residual line for other articles of plastics, 3926.90.9989. The case is 3D printed from PLA plastic filament and has no electrical components.
The letter also notes. CBP also found the case qualifies as an originating good under the USMCA, because making it from plastic filament meets the tariff shift rule in General Note 11; when entered as USMCA originating, heading 9903.01.14 is reported alongside the classification. CBP also ruled on the case's country of origin for marking under 19 CFR 102.11(a)(3): making non-originating filament into the case meets the tariff shift for heading 3926, so the case is marked with the country where it is 3D printed.
Does this apply to your product?
It likely does if you can answer yes to each of these:
- Is it a case or holder made of plastic?
- Does it hold a remote control to protect it during normal use?
- Is it free of any electrical components?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
