3926.30.10.00 - Handles and knobs

This HTS category, 3926.30.10.00, specifically enumerates "Handles and knobs" made from plastics or other materials covered under headings 3901 to 3914. These are articles primarily designed for grasping, turning, or manipulating other objects or mechanisms, commonly found on furniture, cabinetry, tools, appliances, and vehicles. The essential characteristic is their function as an interface for human interaction to operate or access an item.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3926.30.50.00 ("Other"), is crucial. While the "Other" category encompasses a broad range of plastic fittings not otherwise specified, this specific category isolates and classifies handles and knobs based on their distinct functional purpose. Classification here hinges on whether the article's primary design and intended use is to serve as a handle or knob, irrespective of its shape or decorative elements, as long as it's made from the specified plastic materials.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification criteria focus solely on identifying articles whose sole or primary purpose is to function as a handle or knob, and which are manufactured from plastics or other materials falling within the scope of Chapter 39. Examples include drawer pulls, door handles, appliance knobs, and steering wheel components made of plastic.
