Overview
This HTS category, 9902.11.90, pertains to specialized injection-molded thermoplastic containers designed for dental restorative products. These containers are specifically engineered for integration into dispensing systems and have a capacity not exceeding 50 milliliters. The classification highlights their specific application within the dental field and their functional design for precise product delivery. The "provided for in subheading 3923.30.00" note indicates that while these containers fall under this temporary or special provision, their base classification, absent this specific entry, would be within Chapter 39, which covers plastics and articles thereof.
As a specific provision within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and special classifications, this code distinguishes these dental product containers from general plastic articles or containers that might otherwise fall under Chapter 39. Chapter 99 codes are typically established for specific policy or trade agreement reasons, often for temporary tariff modifications or import restrictions. Therefore, the primary distinction from sibling categories within Chapter 99 is its precise identification of a niche product with a defined end-use and material composition. It is not directly comparable to the broad agricultural or general trade categories that might precede it in the overall HTS structure.
Since 9902.11.90 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on meeting all the specified criteria: being injection-molded, made of thermoplastic material, designed as a container for dental restorative products, intended for use in a dispensing system, and having a capacity of 50 ml or less. The absence of subcategories means that once these conditions are met, the item is definitively classified under this code.
