needle for use with insulin pens for the administration of insulin
BD Pen Needle
The tariff classification, country of origin marking, and status under 9817.00.96 of Pen Needles exported from Mexico. You state, “The product is a needle for use with insulin pens for the administration of insulin. A complete description of the product may be found at the following Becton Dickinson website: http://www.bd.com/injection/products/autoshield. As set forth in the website description of the product, the shield is intended to prevent accidental needle sticks and also to provide greater comfort to the patient or user of the product.” From the engineering drawings you have provided, it is clear that the subcomponents are made specifically for assembly into the BD Pen Needle. From a review of the internet, it appears that similar Pen Needles are currently used only in the injection of insulin for diabetics. From the Instructions for Use on the BD website, the Pen Needle is pushed and twisted onto the larger “injector” which contains the insulin and is discarded after one use. The needle is pushed forward in use to pierce the skin and serve as a conduit for the insulin.
