3917.29.00.50 - Less than 200 mm in length

This HTS category, 3917.29.00.50, specifically covers rigid tubes, pipes, and hoses made from plastics, other than those specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within 3917.29.00. The defining characteristic for this classification is that the products have a length of less than 200 millimeters. This length limitation is crucial for distinguishing these shorter articles from longer ones, even if made from the same "other plastics" material.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3917.29.00.90 ("Other"), is paramount. While both fall under rigid tubes, pipes, and hoses of other plastics, the "Other" category (3917.29.00.90) encompasses all such items that *do not* meet the less than 200 mm length criterion. Therefore, if a rigid plastic tube or pipe is 200 mm or longer and made from "other plastics," it would be classified under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is finalized based on the material type (plastics, not specifically enumerated elsewhere in 3917.29), its form (rigid tube, pipe, or hose), and its physical dimension (less than 200 mm in length). Examples of goods falling here might include short, rigid plastic conduits or connectors, provided they do not fit into more specific classifications.
