Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.15, specifically covers "Party Poppers (Class 1.4G)". These are consumer fireworks designed for celebratory occasions, typically releasing confetti, streamers, or other decorative materials with a mild bursting charge. The "Class 1.4G" designation is crucial, indicating a low hazard level and adherence to specific safety regulations for explosive articles. It's important to note that this classification is "Provided for in subheading 3604.90.00," meaning that while this special provision exists, the underlying classification for these goods would typically fall under Chapter 36, which deals with explosives and pyrotechnic products.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within Chapter 99, which often deals with temporary legislation or specific import restrictions, is its focus on a particular consumer product that has been granted a special classification. Unlike other potential temporary provisions that might address broader categories of goods, 9902.09.15 is highly specific. Its purpose is to provide a unique identification for party poppers under specific regulatory frameworks, rather than defining a broad commodity group.
As a leaf node, 9902.09.15 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies heavily on adhering to the precise definition of "Party Poppers (Class 1.4G)" and ensuring that the imported goods meet all specified safety and regulatory requirements associated with this classification. Any variations in construction, intended use, or hazard level could necessitate re-evaluation for classification under a different HTS code.
