Overview

This HTS code, 9902.12.11, is a specific classification within Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and agricultural adjustments. This particular subheading covers specialized plastic accessories designed for cameras that fall under subheading 8525.80.40. The key defining features of these accessories are their integrated handheld camera grip, folding extension arms, and a tripod that screws into the base of the handle. Crucially, specific dimensional criteria must be met when fully extended (with and without the tripod) and when folded/collapsed, as outlined in the detailed description.

Unlike the broad agricultural and general goods classifications found in earlier chapters (e.g., Chapters 01-04 covering live animals), this HTS entry is highly specific, addressing a niche product often associated with enhanced photographic or videographic equipment. Its placement within Chapter 99 signifies that its tariff treatment or import restrictions are subject to temporary measures, distinct from permanent tariff classifications found in other chapters.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is on meticulously verifying that the physical characteristics and dimensions of the plastic camera accessory precisely match the detailed requirements provided. This ensures accurate application of the temporary measures associated with this specific HTS code.
