9902.11.94 - Plastic cap for sport water bottle of the squeezable type (provided for in 3923.50.00)

This HTS code, 9902.11.94, specifically covers plastic caps designed for squeezable sport water bottles. These caps are characterized by their material (plastic) and intended function as closures for bottles designed for athletic use, where the bottle's flexibility allows for dispensing liquid by squeezing. The classification acknowledges that these specialized caps are themselves subject to specific temporary legislation or modifications, as indicated by their placement within Chapter 99.

Given that this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Instead, the focus is on clearly identifying the precise nature of the goods covered. It's important to distinguish this classification from general plastic closures or caps for other types of containers. For instance, while other plastic caps for bottles might fall under Chapter 39 (Plastics and articles thereof), this specific code acknowledges a particular trade or policy treatment applied to these sport water bottle caps, overriding their standard classification.

The purpose of this specialized code is to facilitate specific customs procedures or to implement temporary trade measures related to these particular items. When classifying, the key elements are the material (plastic), the form (cap), and the specific application (for squeezable sport water bottles). Any plastic cap intended for a different type of bottle, or one that is not designed for squeezing, would not fall under this HTS code.
