Overview
This HTS classification, 4823.90.50.00, specifically designates hand fans. These are portable devices, typically made from paper, paperboard, or similar cellulosic materials, designed to create a current of air for cooling. The classification covers a wide variety of hand fans, regardless of their specific construction or decorative elements, as long as their primary function is manual air circulation.
When classifying within heading 4823, it is crucial to distinguish hand fans from other articles. For instance, while other "other" subcategories at this level may include items like cards for punchcard machines (4823.90.31.00) or frames for photographic slides (4823.90.40.00), these items have distinct functionalities and physical forms that differentiate them from hand fans. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is the direct and sole purpose of manual cooling through air movement.
As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions at this level will rely on a thorough examination of the product's physical attributes and intended use to ensure it aligns with the definition of a hand fan and is not more specifically classifiable elsewhere within Chapter 48 or other relevant chapters.
