Overview
This HTS chapter, 9902, pertains to temporary legislation and modifications, including those enacted under trade agreements and specific import restrictions. The current node, 9902.14.95, specifically addresses portable propane gas camping stoves that meet precise criteria. These stoves are characterized by a single adjustable burner capable of generating up to 7,650 BTUs, with a steel casing and porcelain-covered steel pan support. Crucially, the valuation of these specific stoves must fall within the range of $4 to $20 each.
Unlike the general merchandise categories found in earlier chapters of the HTS, which classify goods based on their inherent nature and function (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), Chapter 9902 deals with provisions that temporarily alter or restrict the import of goods that would otherwise be classified under different chapters. The sibling categories within Chapter 9902 would also represent different sets of temporary measures or specific import restrictions, rather than distinct types of goods like live animals.
As 9902.14.95 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Its specificity aims to capture a particular subset of camping stoves for targeted regulatory or tariff purposes. The reference to subheading 7321.11.10 indicates the primary classification of these stoves under normal circumstances, with 9902.14.95 imposing a temporary or specific condition upon their importation. Therefore, classification within this node hinges on meeting all the detailed physical and value criteria outlined in its description, in addition to being subject to the temporary legislation it represents.
