9902.15.15 - Secateurs and similar one-handed pruners and shears, each with a gear-driven rotatable handle which provides increased leverage and control to the movement of the blade (provided for in subheading 8201.50.00)

This HTS category, 9902.15.15, specifically covers secateurs and similar one-handed pruning shears that feature a gear-driven rotatable handle. This unique design element enhances leverage and control during the operation of the blade, distinguishing them from standard pruning tools. These items are provided for under subheading 8201.50.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, indicating their primary classification based on their function as hand-operated tools for pruning.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it does not have direct subcategories. However, it is crucial to understand that Chapter 99 of the HTS is reserved for temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions. Therefore, items classified under 9902.15.15 are subject to these specific, often temporary, trade provisions in addition to their base classification under Chapter 82. This means that while the tool itself is a secateur, its classification here indicates a special trade condition or restriction that must be considered for importation.
