Overview

This HTS classification, 9021.21.40.00, specifically covers artificial teeth that are manufactured from plastics. These items are designed to replace missing natural teeth and are intended for dental applications. The material composition, being primarily plastic, is the defining characteristic for goods falling under this code.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 9021.21.80.00 ("Other"), by the explicit material exclusion. While other artificial teeth and dental fittings are captured under the broader "Other" subheading, this specific code isolates those made from plastic to ensure precise tariff application based on manufacturing material.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is solely determined by the product being an artificial tooth and its construction from plastic. Importers and exporters should verify that the primary material of the artificial teeth is indeed plastic to correctly apply this HTS code.
