9021.29 - Other:

This HTS classification, 9021.29, pertains to artificial teeth and dental fittings that are not themselves artificial teeth but are nonetheless dental in nature and intended to compensate for defects or disabilities within the oral cavity. This category functions as a residual for dental prosthetics and fittings not specifically covered by other subheadings.

Crucially, 9021.29 differentiates itself from its sibling, 9021.21, which is exclusively for artificial teeth and their associated parts and accessories. While 9021.21 focuses on the artificial tooth replacements themselves, 9021.29 encompasses other dental components and apparatus used for corrective or prosthetic purposes within dentistry.

Within this classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification based on material and composition. Subcategory 9021.29.40.00 specifically covers items manufactured from plastics, while 9021.29.80.00 addresses all other types of dental fittings and prosthetics that do not fall under the plastic category. This subdivision allows for detailed tracking and tariff application based on the primary material of the dental appliance.
