Overview
This HTS category, 9608.99.20.00, specifically covers refill cartridges for various writing instruments. These are the replacement ink reservoirs designed to be inserted into pens, markers, and other similar writing tools to replenish their ink supply. The scope includes cartridges for ballpoint pens, felt-tipped pens, porous-tipped pens and markers, fountain pens, and stylographs, provided they are designed solely as refills and not complete writing instruments.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9608.99.30.00, which covers "Balls for ball point pens," is crucial. While both are components of writing instruments, this category pertains to the entire ink-holding and dispensing mechanism *other than* the ball itself. The sibling category is exclusively for the small, rotating spheres that enable ink transfer in ballpoint pens.
As a leaf node, 9608.99.20.00 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category relies on identifying the item as a refill cartridge for the writing instruments described in heading 9608, and ensuring it is not specifically classified elsewhere. Examples include disposable ink cartridges for fountain pens, ink reservoirs for mechanical pencils, or replacement ink tubes for markers.
