Product description
The Conceal-a-Cord is composed of plastic. It is designed to be attached to the wall behind the existing wall plate at an electrical outlet. Electrical cords can be wrapped around the Conceal-a-Cord, thereby gathering cords from the floor. You suggest classification in heading 3926, which provides for other articles of plastics. However, the Conceal-a-Cord is more specifically provided for in heading 3925, which provides for builders’ ware, which in accordance with legal note 11(ij) of chapter 39 includes articles such as fittings and mountings for installation on walls and doors.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the Conceal-a-Cord will be 3925.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for builders’ ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included: other.
