What decides the code
Clothes hangers are classified by material. Plastic hangers fall under heading 3926 as other articles of plastics, and wood hangers fall under heading 4421 as other articles of wood.
- Material decides the heading. Plastic hangers go to 3926.90.99.89, and wood hangers go to 4421.10.00.00.
- For wood hangers, heading 4421 names clothes hangers directly, so the wood hanger line applies without further breakdown.
- For plastic hangers, heading 3926 covers other articles of plastics, and the hanger is reported under the residual subheading 3926.90.99.89.
Common mistakes
- Classifying plastic hangers under 4421.10.00.00 is wrong because that heading covers only articles of wood.
- Classifying wood hangers under 3926.90.99.89 is wrong because heading 3926 covers plastics, not wood.
- Classifying plastic hangers in a furniture or textile heading is wrong because a hanger is a separate article of plastics, not part of furniture or apparel.
