HS code for Car phone holder, plastic
HS 2022Destination USConfidence 0.72Reviewed by a second modelOther articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914 > Other
Section VII: Plastics and articles thereof; rubber and articles thereof · Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof · Heading 3926: Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914
Why this code
A plastic holder for a mobile phone, clipped or suctioned to the dashboard, windscreen or air vent, is an article of plastics. It is not a part or accessory of the motor vehicle. It serves the phone and the user rather than the vehicle's operation, and holders of this kind are not fitted to or integrated with the vehicle body. Section XVII Note 3 and Chapter 39 Note 2(t) therefore do not take it out of Chapter 39. It is not a coachwork fitting, which would be a permanently fixed mounting (3926.30). It is not office supplies, apparel or an ornament. By GRI 1 and GRI 6 it falls in the residual subheading 3926.90. BTI practice commonly takes this approach.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Section XVII Note 3, Chapter 39 Note 2(t).

| 8708.99 | Parts and accessories of the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705 > Other parts and accessories > Other | Same reason: it does not contribute to the vehicle's operation and is not an accessory of the vehicle itself. |
| 3926.30 | Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914 > Fittings for furniture, coachwork or the like | Fittings for coachwork are permanently installed mountings. A clip-on phone holder is not a coachwork fitting. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Is the holder vehicle-specific and permanently integrated into the dashboard of a particular car model?
- Does it include electrical functions (wireless charging, motorised clamp)?
- Is any metal part predominant?

Other > Other
Confidence 0.60. The product is a plastic car phone holder with no electrical function, and none of the specific national lines listed under 3926.90 (such as handles, ladders, or laboratory ware) describes a vehicle-mounted phone holder, so the residual 'Other > Other' line applies, with moderate confidence because composition percentages and form are not stated.
