9902.17.02 - New gear boxes for the vehicles of headings 8702 or 8704, the foregoing gear boxes with six speeds and with peak torque rating of at least 69 kg-m but not greater than 110 kg-m (provided for in subheading 8708.40.11)

This HTS category, 9902.17.02, pertains to specific new gear boxes intended for use in vehicles classified under headings 8702 or 8704. The defining characteristics for inclusion in this provision are a six-speed transmission system and a peak torque rating that falls within the range of at least 69 kg-m but not exceeding 110 kg-m. These gear boxes are further identified as being provided for under subheading 8708.40.11, indicating their primary function is as a component part for motor vehicles.

The critical distinction of this classification lies in its narrow focus on gear boxes with precise technical specifications. While other HTS categories within Chapter 99 might cover temporary legislation or modifications, this particular code targets a very specific type of automotive component based on its performance parameters (number of speeds and torque capacity). It differentiates itself from general automotive parts or gear boxes not meeting these exact criteria.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9902.17.02 relies entirely on the precise fulfillment of the stated description, including the vehicle headings they are intended for and the specified technical attributes of the gear box itself. Importers must ensure that the imported gear boxes precisely match all defining parameters to qualify for this classification.
