Product description
The product is a mounting bracket designed to hold rectangular packages of sanitary wipes that dispense through a flip-top lid. The bracket is designed to be permanently affixed to a wall by means of screws. The bracket is shipped flat, but when installed will be folded and locked into a U-shape to form a cradle for the packages of wipes. The wipes are not imported with the bracket. The bracket is composed of injection molded plastics and incorporates two steel wires and a steel spring. The plastic components, which predominate overwhelmingly by cost and weight and which perform the principal role in the function of the product, impart the essential character.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the plastic mounting bracket for sanitary wipes will be 3925.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for builders’ ware of plastics, not elsewhere specified or included: other.
