9902.12.25 - Anchors suitable for use with cameras of subheading 8525.80.40, designed to be affixed to cameras by means of an adhesive, incorporating tethers that may be tied to the anchors (provided for in subheading 3926.90.99)

This HTS classification covers specialized anchors designed for use with specific types of cameras classified under subheading 8525.80.40. These anchors are characterized by their method of attachment, which is a direct affixation to the camera using an adhesive. Crucially, they incorporate tethers that are intended to be tied to the anchors themselves, providing a secure connection. The anchors themselves are considered products of plastic, as implied by their common designation within subheading 3926.90.99 for other articles of plastic.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings within Chapter 99 requires an understanding of its specific functional purpose and material. Unlike broader categories in Chapter 99 which might cover general temporary legislation or trade agreement modifications, 9902.12.25 is a very specific provision for a particular accessory. It is not a standalone camera, nor is it a general mounting bracket for a wide range of equipment. The defining features are the adhesive attachment, the integrated tether system, and the explicit link to cameras under 8525.80.40, differentiating it from general-purpose adhesives or other types of camera accessories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for the described anchors. Importers and exporters should carefully review the physical characteristics and intended use of their anchors to ensure they meet the criteria of being adhesive-mounted, incorporating tethers, and specifically designed for cameras classified under 8525.80.40. This detailed description ensures accurate application of this specific temporary provision.
