Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.12.12, specifically covers mounts designed for securing cameras to a person's head. These mounts are constructed from plastics and are characterized by integrated adjustable head-straps that encircle the forehead, as well as a strap that crosses the top of the head. Crucially, they feature a plastic clip mechanism to attach the camera to these straps, along with a thumbscrew for both mounting the camera and adjusting its viewing angle via a pivot.
While this category pertains to specialized plastic mounts, it is distinct from general plastic articles classified under subheading 3926.90.99, from which it is "provided for." Its unique function – the specific design for head-mounted camera security, including the adjustable straps and pivot mechanism – differentiates it. Furthermore, it is separate from cameras themselves, which fall under subheading 8525.80.40, focusing solely on the accessory used to attach and position them on a user's head. As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions, meaning its scope is precisely defined by the detailed description provided.
