9902.15.32 - Nail clippers with stainless steel blades,each having one or both blades with rounded edged cut-outs and designed for use in cutting nails of dogs, cats or other small pets (including birds, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs or gerbils) (provided for in subheading 8214.20.30).

This HTS classification, 9902.15.32, specifically covers nail clippers designed for pet use, featuring stainless steel blades. A key distinguishing characteristic of these clippers is the presence of rounded edged cut-outs on one or both blades, a design element intended to enhance safety and precision when trimming the nails of smaller animals. The scope encompasses clippers for a variety of common household pets, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from general-purpose nail clippers or those intended for human use, which would fall under different HTS classifications. The "provided for in subheading 8214.20.30" note indicates that while these are specialized pet clippers, their base classification as a type of cutting implement is established within that broader category. However, the temporary legislation cited in Chapter 99 signifies a specific import provision or modification applicable to these particular goods.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 9902.15.32 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification relies entirely on the precise characteristics outlined in its description. Importers must ensure that the goods precisely match the criteria of stainless steel blades, the distinctive rounded cut-outs, and the intended application for trimming pet nails to qualify for this specific tariff provision.
