Overview
HTS code 9003.19.00.00 specifically classifies frames and mountings for spectacles, goggles, or the like, that are manufactured from materials other than plastics. This category encompasses a wide range of eyewear frames where the primary constituent material is not plastic. Examples include frames made from metal (such as stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum), wood, precious metals, or composite materials not predominantly plastic.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 9003.11.00.00, which exclusively covers frames and mountings of plastics. Therefore, when classifying an item under 9003, the determination hinges on the predominant material used in the construction of the frame or mounting. If the frame is constructed from any material other than plastic, it falls under 9003.19.00.00.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. The classification is definitive based on the material composition of the frame and its intended use as part of spectacles, goggles, or similar eyewear. Proper identification of the frame's primary constituent material is crucial for accurate classification under this heading.
