3926.90.25.00 - Handles and knobs, not elsewhere specified or included, of plastics

This HTS subheading, 3926.90.25.00, specifically classifies handles and knobs manufactured from plastics, which are not elsewhere classified within Chapter 39 or other sections of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These items are typically designed for attachment to other articles to facilitate gripping, turning, or carrying. Examples include drawer pulls, cupboard knobs, tool handles, and components for appliances. The key defining characteristic is their material composition of plastic and their primary function as a handle or knob.

To differentiate this category from its siblings, consider the specific function and form. While other subcategories under 3926.90.90 cover items like buckets, pacifiers, or specialized medical or marine parts, this subheading is exclusively for standalone handles and knobs. For instance, while a plastic part for a yacht might incorporate a handle, if the handle itself is not separately identifiable or if the part is more specifically classified by its overall function (e.g., as a part of a yacht), it would not fall here. Similarly, items like beads, bugles, and spangles, though made of plastic, have decorative or embellishing functions rather than the functional gripping purpose of handles and knobs.

As a leaf node, 3926.90.25.00 represents the most specific classification for these plastic handles and knobs. Therefore, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this code hinges on confirming the article is indeed a handle or knob, is made of plastic, and does not meet the criteria for any more specific provision elsewhere in the HTS.
