Overview

HTS 9902.15.09 specifically classifies machined loupe mountings constructed from cast aluminum and featuring a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating. These mountings are considered components that would otherwise fall under subheading 7616.99.51 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which covers other articles of aluminum. The inclusion of this specific code within Chapter 99 signifies a temporary modification or special classification provision, likely related to trade agreements or import restrictions.

This category is distinct from other HTS codes in that it isolates a very specific manufactured component with defined materials and finishes. While other aluminum articles are classified elsewhere, this code targets a precise item designed for a particular function (loupe mountings) with a specialized coating. Its placement within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and special provisions, sets it apart from the standard classification of aluminum products found in Chapter 76.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, HTS 9902.15.09 does not have further subcategories. Classification under this code is determined by the precise physical characteristics described: being a machined loupe mounting, made of cast aluminum, and possessing a PTFE coating. The "provided for in subheading 7616.99.51" clause indicates that this item is provisionally classified here, but its origin and intended use as a component are key to its unique treatment under this temporary provision.
