9902.12.24 - Camera mounts each designed to clip a camera of subheading 8525.80.40 to a surfboard, such mounts of plastics, designed to be inserted into a cross-sectional hole drilled into the surfboard and held thereto by screws (provided for in 3926.90.99)

This HTS classification, 9902.12.24, specifically covers camera mounts designed for attaching cameras classified under subheading 8525.80.40 to surfboards. These mounts are constructed from plastics and feature a design intended for insertion into a pre-drilled cross-sectional hole in the surfboard. Their securement is achieved through screws, which themselves are classified under 3926.90.99. The primary purpose of these items is to facilitate the mounting of action cameras for activities involving surfboards.

Unlike the broad agricultural and animal product categories found at the beginning of the HTS (e.g., Chapters 01-05), this classification falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and special provisions. This indicates that these camera mounts are subject to unique trade or tariff rules beyond the standard classification of general goods. The sibling categories at this very high level of the HTS database would encompass vast arrays of diverse products, and it is crucial to recognize that 9902.12.24 represents a very specific, niche item within a temporary tariff framework.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This means that any item meeting the precise physical characteristics and intended use described above, and falling within the scope of the temporary legislation indicated by the Chapter 99 heading, will be classified directly under 9902.12.24. The classification hinges on the material (plastics), the specific design for surfboard integration, and the intended application of mounting cameras from subheading 8525.80.40, with the acknowledgment that the screws used for attachment have their own separate classification.
