9902.16.02 - Flexplates designed for use in compression-ignition engines of a cylinder capacity equal to or greater than 6,000 cc but not exceeding 20,000 cc, such flexplates measuring 5 cm or more but not over 150 cm in length, 22 cm or more but not over 150 cm in width and 2 cm or more but not over 150 cm in height (provided for in subheading 8483.60.80)

This HTS classification, 9902.16.02, specifically covers flexplates intended for use in the repair or manufacture of compression-ignition engines. These engines are characterized by a cylinder capacity ranging from 6,000 cc up to and including 20,000 cc. The physical dimensions of these flexplates are also tightly defined, requiring a length between 5 cm and 150 cm, a width between 22 cm and 150 cm, and a height between 2 cm and 150 cm. This specific provision falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and agricultural import restrictions.

Given that this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no subcategories to delineate. Therefore, the distinction from other sibling categories at the root level of the HTS database is paramount. While sibling categories like those for live animals (e.g., 0101, 0102) represent vastly different classes of goods, this specific node within Chapter 99 is unique in its focus on specialized engine components under temporary tariff treatment. Its coverage is exclusively defined by the strict criteria outlined in the description, and it is distinct from general engine parts or components that might be classified elsewhere in Chapter 84 under more permanent tariff headings. The classification is contingent upon fulfilling all specified engine capacity and physical dimension requirements.
