Overview
This HTS category, 9902.17.13, specifically covers one-piece baby strollers designed for a particular modular system. The key characteristics defining these strollers include a non-detachable seat, foldable but non-removable anchor points intended for the secure attachment of car seats, and a folding mechanism that allows the backrest to collapse forward against the stroller seat. These strollers are provided for under heading 8715.00.00, indicating their primary function as perambulators.
Given the specific nature of this classification, it is designed to identify a niche within the broader category of baby strollers. While other entries in the HTS might cover general baby carriages or different types of stroller functionalities, 9902.17.13 is reserved for this particular configuration that facilitates integrated car seat mounting and a specific folding action. This specificity is crucial for applying the correct duty rates and import regulations associated with temporary legislation and trade agreements.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.17.13 is definitive for strollers meeting all the specified physical and functional criteria. Importers must ensure their goods precisely match the description to qualify for this classification, as minor deviations could result in classification under a different HTS code, potentially subject to different tariff treatment or import restrictions.
