9902.12.23 - Camera mounts of plastics, designed to hold cameras of subheading 8525.80.40, each mount measuring 4 and 10 cm in length, 3 to 5 cm in width and less than 2 cm in height, incorporating adhesive pads to attach the mount to flat surfaces (provided for in subheading 3926.90.99)

This HTS classification, 9902.12.23, pertains to specialized camera mounts manufactured from plastics. These mounts are specifically engineered to accommodate cameras classified under subheading 8525.80.40. Key distinguishing features include precise dimensions, with a length of 4 and 10 cm, a width ranging from 3 to 5 cm, and a height less than 2 cm. Furthermore, their design incorporates adhesive pads, enabling attachment to flat surfaces. This particular classification falls under Chapter 99, which covers temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and import restrictions.

As a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories. Instead, the focus is on the specific criteria that define this temporary tariff provision. Unlike other categories within the broader HTS system that classify goods based on their inherent nature or primary function (e.g., Section XVI for machinery and electrical equipment), this provision addresses a specific type of plastic camera mount with defined physical characteristics and a particular intended use related to specific camera types. Its placement in Chapter 99 signifies a temporary trade measure, distinct from permanent tariff classifications. The inclusion of "provided for in subheading 3926.90.99" in its description indicates that the underlying material and general construction align with general provisions for plastic articles, but the specific application and dimensions trigger this temporary classification.
