U.S. Department of Homeland Security U.S. Customs and Border Protection National Commodity Specialist Division One World Trade Center, Suite 51.201 New York, NY 10007 U.S. Customs and Border Protection N365168 October 9, 2026 CLA-2-39:OT:RR:NC:N4:415 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 3926.90.9989 Boyd Rollins Nashville Wire Products 199 Polk Avenue Nashville, TN 37210 RE: The tariff classification of gravity-fed roller racks from China. Dear Mr. Rollins: In your letter dated September 17, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Images were provided in lieu of samples. There are three products under consideration. They are all removable racks placed on existing inclined shelves in refrigerated or ambient retail displays to advance and organize packaged beverages. Each rack consists of polypropylene copolymer plastic rollers, plastic structural components, steel-wire dividers, an aluminum front member, and a clear plastic front stop. The first two roller racks, NWPF1067 and NWPF1068, will measure 720 by 657 millimeters. The third, NWPF1073, will measure 720 by 911 millimeters. Your submission states the plastic components predominate and perform the principal gravity-feed conveying function. We agree they would be classified by the plastic components, General Rule of Interpretation 3(b) noted. As these three roller racks, NWPF1067, NWPF1068, and NWPF1073, would be considered articles of plastic, and as they are not more specifically provided for elsewhere, the applicable subheading will be 3926.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “[o]ther articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914: [o]ther: [o]ther: [o]ther.” The column one, general rate of duty is 5.3 percent ad valorem. The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided at https://hts.usitc.gov/. This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to such tariffs.

The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as identified in the ruling request.

In the event that the facts are modified in any way, or if the goods do not conform to these facts at time of importation, you should bring this to the attention of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and submit a request for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2.
