9902.12.14 - Mounts of plastics, engineered to attach to cameras of subheading 8525.80.40; designed to attach to flat surfaces by means of a round suction cup measuring between 8 and 10 cm in diameter; each incorporating x, y and z-directional pivots to adjust the camera's viewpoint (provided for in subheading 3926.90.99).

This HTS category, 9902.12.14, specifically covers mounts designed for plastic cameras that fall under subheading 8525.80.40. These mounts are engineered with particular physical and functional characteristics. They are intended to attach to flat surfaces using a circular suction cup that measures between 8 and 10 centimeters in diameter. Crucially, these mounts incorporate multi-directional pivots (x, y, and z axes) to allow for precise adjustment of the camera's viewpoint. The classification emphasizes that these are plastic mounts, originating from the provisions found in subheading 3926.90.99, but are temporarily classified under Chapter 99 due to specific trade agreement modifications.

Given the current node is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it does not have direct subcategories to distinguish from. However, it is important to note that Chapter 99 is dedicated to temporary legislation, modifications, and restrictions, unlike the primary chapters of the HTS that classify goods based on their inherent nature and function (e.g., Chapter 01 for live animals). Therefore, this classification is distinct from the permanent tariff classifications found in earlier chapters. The specific criteria for inclusion under 9902.12.14, such as the material (plastics), the specific suction cup diameter, and the presence of multi-directional pivots for camera adjustment, are critical for distinguishing these particular mounts from other types of camera accessories or general plastic articles that might fall under different HTS provisions.
