Overview
HTS Code 9902.12.08 pertains to adjustable squeeze-trigger bar clamps constructed from plastics. These clamps are specifically designed for applications requiring adjustable pressure and are identified by their trigger mechanism for tightening and releasing. The "provided for in subheading 3926.90.99" notation indicates that, outside of this temporary provision, these goods would typically be classified under a broader subheading for other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914.
This specific classification is part of Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and modifications. Therefore, its primary purpose is to address specific policy or trade agreement-related actions affecting these particular plastic clamps, potentially imposing duties, quotas, or other restrictions not found in the general HTS structure. This distinguishes it from the primary chapters of the HTS, such as Chapters 39 (Plastics and articles thereof) where similar items might otherwise be classified without the temporary provision.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The classification is definitive for adjustable squeeze-trigger bar clamps made of plastic under the conditions outlined by the temporary legislation. Importers should consult the specific details of the trade agreement or legislation associated with this HTS code to understand the full implications and requirements for importing these goods.
