9614.00.98 - Other

This HTS category, 9614.00.98, encompasses "Other" smoking pipes and cigar or cigarette holders, along with their parts, that are not specifically classified under preceding subheadings. It serves as a residual category for items falling within the broader scope of smoking accessories not defined by their material composition, such as those made of metal, which are classified under 9614.00.94.00.

The classification here hinges on the absence of a more specific designation for the primary material of construction. This category is designed to capture a diverse range of smoking pipes, pipe bowls, cigar holders, and cigarette holders that do not fit into more narrowly defined material categories.

To further refine the classification of items within this broad "Other" designation, two subcategories exist. The subheading 9614.00.98.10 is reserved for items constructed predominantly of glass. All remaining items that are not made of metal and not made of glass are classified under the residual subheading 9614.00.98.90, which further refines the "Other" classification.
