9902.15.43 - High silicon molybdenum exhaust manifolds for use in compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines) with cylinder capacity of 2,300 cc or more but not exceeding 20,000 cc, each manifold measuring at least 80 cm but not exceeding 200 cm in length, at least 10 cm but not over 200 cm in width, and at least 10 cm but not exceeding 200 cm in height (provided for in subheading 8409.99.91)

This HTS classification, 9902.15.43, covers specialized high silicon molybdenum exhaust manifolds specifically designed for heavy-duty compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines. These engines, commonly referred to as diesel or semi-diesel engines, must have a cylinder capacity ranging from 2,300 cc up to a maximum of 20,000 cc. The physical dimensions of the manifold are also critical for classification, requiring a length between 80 cm and 200 cm, a width between 10 cm and 200 cm, and a height between 10 cm and 200 cm. The parent chapter, 99, signifies that this is a category subject to temporary legislation or modifications, often related to trade agreements or specific import restrictions.

As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Its distinctiveness lies in the precise combination of material (high silicon molybdenum), intended application (diesel/semi-diesel engines), engine size parameters, and specific dimensional tolerances. Unlike broader classifications for general engine parts or other types of exhaust systems, this HTS code targets a very specific niche of components due to their specialized material properties and intended use in larger industrial or commercial diesel engines. The "provided for in subheading 8409.99.91" notation indicates its underlying classification within the broader HTS structure, but Chapter 99 imposes an additional layer of regulation or modification.
