Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 392690 when importing or exporting plastic articles that don't fit neatly into other specific categories. This code covers a variety of plastic items, such as plastic containers, household goods, and more, that are not classified elsewhere in chapter 39.
Unlike HS-6 392620, which specifically addresses plastic articles for household use, HS-6 392690 is broader and includes miscellaneous plastic products. This can include items like plastic parts for machinery or components used in construction.
When dealing with HS-6 392690, think of items like plastic storage bins, decorative plastic items, or even plastic cutlery. If your product is made of plastic and doesn’t have a more specific classification, this is likely the code you need.
It's important to differentiate between this code and others in the same heading, such as HS-6 392610, which covers specific types of plastic boxes and cases. If your product is a general plastic article without a specific use, 392690 is the right choice.
