9902.16.06 - Power back door (liftgate) actuator assemblies for the motor vehicles of headings 8701 to 8705, each consisting of a brushless electric DC motor that generates between 350 and 400 W, an electromagnetic clutch, a clutch magnet, a clutch flywheel, a clutch plate, a sensor and a housing (provided for in subheading 8501.31.40)

This HTS classification, 9902.16.06, specifically designates power back door (liftgate) actuator assemblies for motor vehicles falling under headings 8701 to 8705. These assemblies are characterized by their inclusion of a brushless electric DC motor producing between 350 and 400 Watts, an electromagnetic clutch, a clutch magnet, a clutch flywheel, a clutch plate, a sensor, and a housing. The parenthetical reference to subheading 8501.31.40 indicates the origin of the primary motor component for classification purposes.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and modifications, it does not have direct sibling categories at its level that are products. Instead, its uniqueness lies in its highly specific definition of a complete actuator assembly, distinct from individual components that might be classified elsewhere under the HTS. The focus is on the integrated nature of the assembly designed for a particular function in automotive applications, rather than general electrical motors or separate mechanical parts.

Given that this is a terminal classification, further subdivision does not apply. Therefore, the practical application of this code centers on the precise identification of these specialized automotive liftgate actuator assemblies. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match all listed components and functional requirements to correctly utilize this temporary HTS provision.
