9902.16.03 - Flexplates designed for use in compression ignition engines with cylinder capacity ranging between 1000 cc to 5900 cc, such flexplates measuring 35 cm or more but not over 50 cm in length, 35 cm or more but not over 50 cm in width and 2 cm or more but not over 10 cm in height (provided for in subheading 8483.60.80)

HTS Code 9902.16.03 specifically classifies flexplates designed for a particular application within compression ignition engines. To qualify for this classification, these flexplates must serve the defined purpose, have a cylinder capacity range between 1000 cc and 5900 cc, and meet precise dimensional requirements: a length between 35 cm and 50 cm, a width between 35 cm and 50 cm, and a height between 2 cm and 10 cm. This specific configuration indicates its specialized nature and the temporary legislation under which it is categorized within Chapter 99.

This classification is distinct from other categories in Chapter 99, which generally pertains to temporary legislative measures and trade agreement modifications. Unlike the broader scope of other Chapter 99 subheadings that might cover various temporary import restrictions or special provisions, 9902.16.03 focuses exclusively on a very specific automotive component. Furthermore, it differs significantly from the goods classified in Chapters 1 through 98 of the HTS, which cover a vast array of products based on their inherent nature, material, and primary function, rather than temporary tariff treatments.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, HTS Code 9902.16.03 does not have further subcategories. Its classification is determined solely by the precise description and the specific criteria outlined, which directly refer to its intended use and physical dimensions. This means that any deviation from the stated engine capacity, dimensional tolerances, or intended application would necessitate reclassification under a different HTS code, likely within its permanent classification subheading of 8483.60.80.
