CBP Ruling N265683 — The tariff classification of Bra Fix It™ from China.

Tariff classification

Headings: 3926

Product description

You have submitted a sample and descriptive literature for item number 40560, identified as Bra Fix It™, which consists of eight acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) “tips” packaged on a cardboard hangtag with a small plastic window front. Each tip measures approximately 1-1/8” in length x 1/8” in thickness, and is rounded at one end and beveled at the other end. The beveled end is open. When a bra’s underwire pops out, the open end of the ABS tip is slipped over the protruding underwire end and pushed back into the bra pocket. Thereby, protecting the bra wearer from painful skin stabs and irritation caused by the exposed underwire. Accompanying literature asserts that use of the product will make underwire bras stronger and longer lasting, and can be used with any bra style and cup size. The sample will be returned as requested.
