9902.12.19 - Plastic screen protectors having dimensions not exceeding 40 mm by 60 mm but at least 35 mm by 50 mm for digital still image video cameras of 8525.80.40 (provided for in subheading 3926.90.99)

This HTS category, 9902.12.19, specifically addresses plastic screen protectors designed for digital still image video cameras falling under HTS subheading 8525.80.40. The defining physical characteristics for classification within this provision are precise dimensions: the screen protectors must not exceed 40 mm by 60 mm, yet must be at least 35 mm by 50 mm. These protectors are further classified under Chapter 99, indicating temporary legislation or modifications, and are provided for within the broader classification of subheading 3926.90.99, which covers other plastic articles.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings within Chapter 99 is crucial. While Chapter 99 as a whole encompasses a wide array of temporary provisions, 9902.12.19 is exceptionally specific, targeting a niche product based on its function (screen protector), material (plastic), intended equipment (digital still image video cameras), and exact physical dimensions. Unlike broader temporary provisions, this code offers no room for interpretation regarding the size or application of the screen protector. As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore; classification is finalized based on meeting the stringent criteria outlined.
