3926.90.99.10 - Laboratory ware

This classification, HTS Code 3926.90.99.10, specifically covers "Laboratory ware" made of plastics or other materials falling under headings 3901 to 3914. This encompasses a broad range of items designed for use in scientific research, analysis, and experimentation. Examples include beakers, test tubes, petri dishes, funnels, pipettes, and graduated cylinders, as well as more specialized apparatus like flasks, stoppers, and sample containers, provided they are predominantly made of plastic.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings requires careful consideration of intended use. While other categories within 3926.90.99 might include general articles of plastic, such as elastic bands or manhole covers, this subcategory is narrowly defined by its application within a laboratory setting. Goods classified here are characterized by their suitability for handling chemicals, biological samples, or performing precise measurements and manipulations, often necessitating specific material properties like chemical resistance, transparency, or sterility.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 3926.90.99.10 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on correctly identifying an article as "laboratory ware" based on its function and design, in contrast to more general plastic articles or those with distinct specialized uses such as medical devices or road safety equipment.
