4014.90.50.00 - Other

This HTS category, 4014.90.50.00, encompasses hygienic or pharmaceutical articles made of vulcanized rubber, excluding hard rubber, that do not fall under more specific classifications within the heading. It serves as a residual category for such items when they do not qualify as nursing nipples. Examples of products that may be classified here include rubber gloves for medical or laboratory use, finger cots, and certain types of sanitary pads or tampons if constructed primarily of vulcanized rubber.

The key distinction for this "Other" classification is its exclusion of nursing nipples, which are specifically detailed under HTS code 4014.90.10.00. Therefore, any hygienic or pharmaceutical article made of vulcanized rubber that is not a nursing nipple should be reviewed against the criteria for this category. The presence or absence of fittings made of hard rubber does not alter the classification within this specific subheading, as the primary material remains vulcanized rubber.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 4014.90.50.00 is determined by the item's primary material (vulcanized rubber, not hard rubber) and its intended use as a hygienic or pharmaceutical article, provided it is not otherwise classified as a nursing nipple or another specific type of rubber article under a different heading.
