Shirt clip (Assembly, Shirt Clip, Universal)HTS 3926.90.9989Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: Other: Other: Other

Explanation

Heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics. CBP found the clip is an article of plastic that isn't provided for more specifically elsewhere, and placed it on that heading's line for other articles.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a spring clip?
  • Is it made mostly of plastic, such as POM?
  • Does it attach to the cable of a headset?

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