Overview
This HTS classification, 9021.29.40.00, specifically covers artificial teeth and dental fittings, and their parts and accessories, that are made primarily of plastics. This category falls under the broader heading for orthopedic appliances and other devices to compensate for physical defects or disabilities, with a specific focus on dental prosthetics and related items.
The "Of plastics" designation clearly distinguishes this subcategory from other sibling classifications. For instance, if there were categories for artificial teeth made from other materials (e.g., ceramics, metals), this code would exclusively capture those constructed with plastic as the primary material. It's important to note that the overall function and purpose as a dental prosthetic, compensating for missing teeth or other dental issues, remains the overarching characteristic of this entire heading.
As a leaf node in the HTS classification system, 9021.29.40.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code hinges entirely on the material composition (plastics) and the function as an artificial tooth or dental fitting, or a part/accessory thereof. Examples would include complete dentures, individual artificial teeth components, or specialized dental appliance parts made predominantly from plastic materials.
