CBP's Ruling
| Item | HTS code | CBP's description of the line |
|---|---|---|
| Sleeve, ANR | 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 sleeve is an article of plastic. It is made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which counts as a plastic of chapter 39. Since nothing else in the schedule covers it more specifically, CBP placed it under heading 3926, other articles of plastics, 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 made of plastic, such as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)?
- Is it a sleeve or cover for a microphone in a noise canceling headset?
- Does it give the microphone physical protection, acoustic performance and structural integrity?
A no to any of them can mean a different code. A licensed broker can classify your product.
