Explanation

Heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics. Within it, CBP placed the guide on the line for fittings for furniture, coachwork or the like, other.

The guide is a plastic part fitted inside a vehicle's rear trunk to cushion the trunk door, keep it aligned, and cut noise and vibration. CBP agreed that it would be considered a plastic fitting for coachwork.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a plastic part installed in a motor vehicle's rear trunk?
  • Does it cushion the trunk door as it opens and closes, help align it, and reduce noise and vibration?
  • Is it a fitting for the vehicle body (coachwork)?

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