Dental Appliances

For detailed customs regulations and tariff information on dental appliances, visit the HTS database. This resource provides official guidelines for classification and compliance.

Dental appliances fall under HTS Code 9018.19.95. This code applies to other dental instruments and apparatus not specified elsewhere, ensuring proper customs classification.

Packaged dental appliances require a minimum storage area of 200 sq ft (15ft x 13ft) with 9ft ceiling height. Weight distribution must account for fragile materials and stacking limitations.

Dental appliances must be individually padded with bubble wrap or foam inserts. Label all boxes as 'Fragile – Dental Appliances' and ensure dry, well-ventilated storage conditions to prevent damage.

Use stackable bins for small accessories and secure pallets for larger items. Ensure clear labeling and avoid direct sunlight exposure to maintain product integrity during transit.

Specialized accessorials such as climate-controlled containers and forklift-accessible aisles are recommended to optimize storage and handling efficiency for bulk shipments.

Freight costs for dental appliances are influenced by packaging complexity, fragility handling, and storage requirements. Efficient logistics and proper classification under NMFC/HTS codes can reduce expenses.
