Overview
This HTS category, 9902.11.92, specifically covers injection-molded closures made from thermoplastic materials, designed for dental restorative product dispensers. The critical defining characteristic for this classification is the capacity of the container these closures are intended to fit, which must be less than or equal to 50 milliliters. These items are provided for under the broader classification of subheading 3923.50.00, indicating their primary material and function as stoppers and similar articles.
Within the expansive HTS system, this subheading stands apart from general categories of plastics or general-purpose closures. Its specificity lies in the combination of material (thermoplastic, injection-molded), function (dispenser closure for dental products), and a precise container size limitation. Unlike broader categories for plastic articles (Chapter 39) or general pharmaceutical preparations, this code isolates a very particular component used in the medical and dental supply chain.
As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 9902.11.92 hinges entirely on meeting the stipulated criteria: the closure must be injection-molded thermoplastic, designed for a dispenser, intended for dental restorative products, and fit a container of 50 ml or less. Any deviation in these parameters, such as a different material, a different intended use, or a larger container capacity, would necessitate classification under a different HTS code.
