3923.10.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 3923.10.90.00, covers "Other" boxes, cases, crates, and similar articles, all manufactured from plastics. This broad designation encompasses a wide array of rigid or semi-rigid containers used for the conveyance or packing of goods, provided they do not fit into more specific subheadings within 3923.10. Examples include plastic storage bins, general-purpose transport cases, and reusable plastic crates designed for various industries, from retail to agriculture.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 3923.10.20.00, by its lack of specialization. The sibling category specifically addresses articles designed for the secure and precise conveyance or packing of semiconductor wafers, masks, or reticles, implying unique structural features and protective qualities tailored to these sensitive electronic components. In contrast, 3923.10.90.00 applies to more general-purpose plastic containers whose primary function is the protection and transport of a wider range of goods without such highly specialized requirements.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the classification hinges on distinguishing these general-purpose plastic containers from other, more precisely defined plastic articles within the broader chapter and heading, particularly those with specific applications or material compositions outlined elsewhere in Chapter 39. The key determinative factor remains the plastic material of construction and its use as a box, case, crate, or similar article for the conveyance or packing of goods.
