3924.90 - Other:

This HTS category, 3924.90, encompasses a broad range of "other" articles made of plastics that are intended for household, kitchen, or hygienic/toilet use, but do not fall under the specific classification of tableware and kitchenware (HTS 3924.10). This exclusion of more specific items ensures that general household articles made of plastic find their proper placement. The defining characteristic is their plastic composition and their typical use within a domestic setting or for personal care.

Unlike HTS 3924.10, which is strictly for items like plates, cups, cutlery, and cooking utensils, this category addresses a wider array of plastic articles that serve various domestic functions. Examples could include plastic shower curtains, storage containers not specifically designed for food preparation or serving, and other plastic items commonly found in bathrooms, bedrooms, or general living spaces that are not explicitly kitchen or dining related.

The subcategories within 3924.90 serve to further refine the classification of these "other" plastic articles. They distinguish between items like nursing nipples and finger cots (3924.90.05.00), which have a distinct hygienic/personal care function, and broader categories like curtains, drapes, and other furnishings (3924.90.10), highlighting specific applications. Picture frames (3924.90.20.00) are also itemized separately due to their commonality and distinct purpose. The residual category, 3924.90.56, is reserved for all remaining plastic household, kitchen, or hygienic/toilet articles that do not fit into the more specific subheadings.
