9902.15.83 - Electromechanical "hide and seek" toys, designed for use by cats or dogs, each with an electrically powered fast-moving feather wand that changes direction randomly; such wand mechanism positioned in a round enclosure of plastics, designed to allow the wand to shoot out; such toys each containing a carpeted scratching area on top (provided for in subheading 8479.89.94)

This HTS classification covers specific electromechanical toys designed for pets, namely cats and dogs. The defining features include an electrically powered, randomly moving feather wand housed within a round plastic enclosure, designed for the wand to extend outwards. A key characteristic of these toys is the integrated carpeted scratching area on the top. The primary function is to provide entertainment and stimulation for pets through interactive play.

As this is a specialized category within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and special provisions, it is distinct from the primary goods classifications found in Chapters 1 through 98. Unlike the sibling categories which typically cover live animals or manufactured goods in their basic forms, HTS 9902.15.83 isolates a very particular type of pet accessory with specific technological and functional attributes. Its existence in Chapter 99 suggests that these goods may be subject to specific temporary trade measures or restrictions.

Being a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level is definitive for toys that precisely match the described characteristics, including the electromechanical moving feather wand, the plastic enclosure design, and the integrated scratching surface. Importers must ensure that their merchandise precisely aligns with these criteria to correctly apply this HTS code and adhere to any associated temporary provisions.
