What decides the code
Press-on nails of plastic are classified as other articles of plastics under heading 3926, specifically 3926.90.99.89.
- Material decides the heading. Plastic press-on nails fall in heading 3926 as other articles of plastics.
- The nails are not made of a material covered by a more specific heading, so they stay in the residual provision 3926.90.99.89.
- A change to a non-plastic material, such as metal or a textile fiber, would move the product to a different heading.
Common mistakes
- Classifying press-on nails under heading 9616 as manicure or pedicure articles is wrong because that heading covers combs, hair slides and similar toilet articles, not plastic nails.
- Classifying them under heading 3304 with cosmetics is wrong because press-on nails are plastic articles, not beauty or skin care preparations.
- Classifying them under heading 3924 with tableware and kitchenware is wrong because press-on nails are not household or kitchen articles.
