Overview

HTS Code 9902.12.15 specifically covers specialized camera mounts crafted from plastics. These mounts are engineered with a precise design to securely fasten onto tubes with diameters ranging from 10 to 23 mm. A key characteristic of these mounts is their dual-camera holding capability, enabling simultaneous recording from immersive front-facing and rear-facing perspectives, thereby facilitating unique photographic and videographic applications. This provision is specifically a temporary modification, with the underlying classification for similar plastic articles found in subheading 3926.90.99.

Unlike broader categories within Chapter 99 which may encompass various temporary trade measures, this specific subheading targets a niche accessory for photographic equipment. Its distinctiveness lies in the precise physical specifications (tube diameter) and its functional purpose (holding two cameras for immersive perspectives). While sibling categories at the HTS Root level cover entirely different product classes such as live animals or other goods, this category within Chapter 99 addresses temporary legislative provisions impacting specific manufactured goods.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to subdivide this particular classification. Therefore, the classification process relies on verifying the material (plastics), the specific design features (tube clamping range and dual camera holder), and the intended use as a camera mount for immersive perspectives to ensure accurate application of this temporary provision.
