9608.50.00.00 - Sets of articles from two or more of the subheadings 9608.10, 9608.20, 9608.30 or 9608.40

HTS Code 9608.50.00.00 encompasses sets of articles that include two or more writing instruments from distinct subheadings within heading 9608. This category is specifically for collections of writing tools, rather than individual items.

To distinguish this from its siblings, consider that individual ballpoint pens (9608.10.00.00), felt-tipped pens and markers (9608.20.00.00), fountain pens and stylograph pens (9608.30.00), and propelling pencils (9608.40) are classified under their respective subheadings. HTS 9608.50.00.00 applies only when these different types of writing instruments are presented together as a set, such as a gift set containing a ballpoint pen, a marker, and a mechanical pencil.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The key classification criterion for 9608.50.00.00 is the composition of the set, requiring the inclusion of items from at least two of the specified subheadings (9608.10, 9608.20, 9608.30, or 9608.40) to qualify for this classification.
