What decides the code
A phone grip is a small plastic accessory classified as another article of plastics under heading 3926, in subheading 3926.90.99.89.
- Material decides the heading. A grip made of plastic falls in heading 3926 as another article of plastics.
- The grip is a separate accessory, not a part of the phone, so it is not classified with the phone in heading 8517.
- A grip made of a different material, such as silicone treated as rubber or a textile strap, would move to the heading for that material.
Common mistakes
- Classifying the grip in heading 8517 as a phone part is wrong. It is a separate accessory and does not form part of the phone.
- Classifying a plastic grip in heading 3924 or 3925 is wrong. Those headings cover household and builders' articles, not personal accessories.
- Classifying the grip under heading 4202 as a carrying case is wrong. A grip is not a container for the phone.
