Overview

This HTS code, 9902.15.37, specifically designates armored safes constructed from welded steel, weighing no more than 11.8 kilograms. Crucially, these safes must fall within a defined value range of $24 to $36 and be equipped with a digital lock. The "provided for in heading 8303.00.00" clause indicates that while these safes are subject to the temporary provisions of Chapter 99, their fundamental classification resides within heading 8303, which covers other metal safes, strong-boxes, and similar articles of metal.

As a category within Section XXII, which deals with special classification provisions and temporary legislation, this code highlights a specific set of circumstances or modifications applied to the standard classification of safes. Unlike the broad range of live animal categories presented as siblings, this entry pertains to manufactured goods with precise physical and value specifications. Its existence within Chapter 99 signifies that this classification may be subject to change or may reflect temporary trade measures, distinct from the permanent classifications found in the earlier chapters of the HTS.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is highly granular, focusing on the combination of material (welded steel), weight limit (11.8 kg or less), value range ($24 to $36), and locking mechanism (digital lock) for armored safes that would otherwise fall under heading 8303.00.00. This specificity is essential for applying any temporary legislation or trade agreement provisions associated with this particular tariff line.
