CHAPTER

96 — Miscellaneous manufactured articles

In plain English

This category includes vacuum flasks and other vacuum vessels that come with cases, along with their parts, provided those parts are not made of glass. The classification groups all these items together under a single entry without further subdivision. Consequently, there are no additional levels of detail to distinguish between different types of these products or their components.

Chapter 96 classification notes

A catch-all chapter for manufactured articles not elsewhere classified. Generally low duty rates (0-8%). Cigarette lighters face child-safety standards (ISO 9994) and import restrictions in some markets.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Many 'miscellaneous' items actually have specific chapters — brushes (Chapter 96 heading 9603) vs cosmetic applicators (some in Ch. 96, some in Ch. 33). Check specific headings carefully.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
