9902.13.54 - Hand muffs of knitted fabrics of polyester coated with plastics, such muffs stuffed with synthetic microfiber for thermal insulation, each with side openings having elastic closures, with one exterior pocket with zipper closure and weighing not more than 453.592 g (provided for in subheading 6117.80.95)

This HTS classification, 9902.13.54, specifically covers hand muffs designed for thermal insulation. These items are characterized by their construction from knitted polyester fabrics that are further coated with plastics. Key features include being stuffed with synthetic microfiber for enhanced insulation, possessing side openings with elastic closures for a secure fit, and incorporating a single exterior pocket with a zipper. Importantly, these hand muffs must weigh no more than 453.592 grams to fall under this specific provision, which is established under temporary legislation and modifications.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it represents a highly specific temporary provision. Unlike broader categories within the main HTS chapters that might cover general apparel or textile articles, this classification is reserved for this precise type of insulated hand muff, often introduced to address specific trade policy or temporary measures. The preceding parent context within Section XXII highlights its nature as a special classification provision, distinct from the standard HTS structure that classifies goods based on their inherent nature and primary use across all chapters. Therefore, it does not have siblings in the traditional sense of distinct product categories at the same level but rather represents a unique, often time-sensitive, tariff treatment. Since this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories; the description itself outlines the complete set of criteria for classification under this provision.
