Overview
This HTS category, 9902.16.92, specifically covers ultraviolet lamps filled with deuterium gas. A key defining characteristic for classification under this provision is that each individual lamp must be valued at over $300. Furthermore, these lamps are explicitly excluded from containing radio-frequency identification (RFID) devices. The "provided for in subheading 8539.49.00" note indicates that while these lamps fall under the broader scope of electric lamps and lighting fittings in Chapter 85, they are subject to this specific temporary legislation.
It is important to distinguish this temporary provision from other HTS categories. Unlike the general live animal categories (e.g., 0101-0105) or a multitude of other product categories that would reside in Chapters 1-97, this classification exists within Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions. Therefore, its direct siblings at the same level within Chapter 99 would represent other distinct temporary measures, modifications, or restrictions on various goods, rather than a direct comparison of similar product types.
As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories branching from it. Classification at this level is definitive and relies on the precise criteria outlined in its description: the product type (ultraviolet lamps with deuterium gas), the absence of RFID devices, and the unit value exceeding $300. If these conditions are met, goods would be classified under this specific temporary provision.
