9902.13.85 - Portable and foldable water or food bowls of textile materials, designed for use by pets (provided for in subheading 6307.90.98)

This HTS category, 9902.13.85, specifically covers portable and foldable water or food bowls manufactured from textile materials, intended for use with pets. The "provided for in subheading 6307.90.98" note indicates that these textile pet bowls are classified here under a temporary provision, while their primary classification resides within heading 6307, which deals with made-up textile articles. The key elements for classification are the portability, foldability, textile construction, and pet-specific purpose of the bowls.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it does not have direct subcategories in the traditional sense. Instead, its distinctiveness lies in its position within the temporary provisions of the HTS. While other HTS chapters (like Chapters 1 through 98) would classify general merchandise based on material, function, and form, Chapter 99 is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions. Therefore, this category is distinguished from the sibling categories (e.g., Chapter 01 covering live animals) by its nature as a temporary modification or restriction, rather than a standard commodity classification. The goods themselves would ultimately be subject to the classification rules of heading 6307.90.98 when this temporary provision is not in effect.
