## Common ground
All options are types of cable ties, used to bundle and organize cables.
## Options at a glance
**3926.90 – Made of plastic material**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed from synthetic polymer (e.g., nylon, polypropylene), commonly used for general-purpose bundling.
- **Typical examples:** Standard black or colored nylon cable ties, zip ties.
- **Best fit when:** Used for everyday cable management in electronics, automotive, or construction.
**6307.90 – Made of velcro**
- **Defining trait:** Uses a hook-and-loop fastening system, allowing reusable and adjustable bundling.
- **Typical examples:** Reusable Velcro straps, soft tie wraps.
- **Best fit when:** Need frequent access or repositioning of cables (e.g., in labs, temporary setups).
**7326.90 – Made of iron or steel**
- **Defining trait:** Constructed from metal, offering high strength and durability for heavy-duty applications.
- **Typical examples:** Metal cable clamps, steel tie straps.
- **Best fit when:** Securing thick cables, outdoor installations, or environments with extreme stress or heat.

## How to choose
- Is the cable tie made of plastic (e.g., nylon)? → 3926.90
- Does it use a hook-and-loop (Velcro) fastener? → 6307.90
- Is it made of metal (iron or steel)? → 7326.90
## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product could be misclassified if it combines materials (e.g., metal buckle with plastic strap). In such cases, the **main functional material** determines the HS Code. If unsure, prioritize the **primary structural material**—plastic, fabric, or metal. No option is inherently more correct; choose based on dominant material and intended use
