3924.90.56.10 - Gates for confining children or pets

This HTS subheading, 3924.90.56.10, specifically classifies gates designed for the containment of children or pets, when manufactured from plastics. These items are intended to serve as barriers within a household or similar environment to restrict the movement of young children or domestic animals. Examples include portable playpens, safety gates for stairways, and pet barriers.

At this level, 3924.90.56.10 is distinguished from its sibling category, 3924.90.56.50, which covers "Other" plastic household articles not otherwise specified. While both fall under the broader "Other" designation within tableware, kitchenware, and household articles of plastic, this specific subheading narrows the focus to a functional item with a defined purpose related to confinement. The key distinguishing factor is the intended use as a barrier for children or pets.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific item. Therefore, classification into 3924.90.56.10 is final if the article meets the criteria of being a plastic gate for confining children or pets. Importers and exporters should ensure the primary function of the plastic article aligns with this specific confinement purpose to ensure accurate classification.
