What is the HTS code for a plastic faucet aerator?

HTS code

CBP classified a plastic faucet aerator, also called a tap sprayer, under HTS 3926.90.9989 in ruling N359958. That line covers other articles of plastics, the ones no other heading covers more specifically.

Faucet aeratorHTS 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 the aerator is an article of plastic and that no other heading covers it more specifically. Heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics, and CBP placed the aerator on that heading's line for other articles.

In classifying it, CBP looked to its earlier ruling N310349, on a plastic showerhead and an aerator, for guidance.

Does this apply to your product?

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

  • Is it a faucet aerator or tap sprayer?
  • Is it made of plastics, apart from a metal screen washer and connection nut?

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