9902.15.85 - Vehicle stability control actuator assemblies (provided for in subheading 8479.89.94)

This HTS category, 9902.15.85, specifically covers vehicle stability control actuator assemblies. These are specialized components designed to actively manage and improve the dynamic stability of a vehicle, typically by automatically adjusting braking or engine power to individual wheels. The classification acknowledges that the underlying technology and components of these assemblies are generally found within heading 8479, which pertains to machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not elsewhere specified or included, with specific reference to subheading 8479.89.94.

It is crucial to differentiate this temporary classification from the broader categories found within Section XXII. Unlike the primary chapters of the HTS which classify goods based on their inherent nature or function (e.g., Chapter 87 for vehicles or Chapter 84 for machinery), Chapter 99 codes are reserved for temporary legislative measures, trade agreement modifications, and specific import restrictions. Therefore, while the underlying components might fall under Chapter 84, this 9902 code indicates a specific, temporary regulatory treatment or restriction applied to these vehicle stability control actuator assemblies.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 9902.15.85 is definitive once the goods are identified as vehicle stability control actuator assemblies falling under the described provision. Importers must refer to the specific legal notes and proclamations associated with Chapter 99 for detailed understanding of the temporary legislation or modification this classification represents.
