Overview
This HTS category, 9902.17.14, specifically covers baby strollers that are designed with a modular seating system. The key defining characteristic is the presence of a chassis that accepts both a removable seat and a removable bassinet. The seat itself is designed for attachment to the chassis's base plate and allows for an adjustable backrest, enabling positions from fully reclining to upright. This classification is pertinent for such multi-functional infant transport systems.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from other stroller classifications by focusing on the specified features. For instance, while other categories might cover simpler strollers, this node is exclusive to those offering the integrated functionality of a removable bassinet and a specifically designed, adjustable seat system. The exclusion of strollers with only a tilting or tilted seat, which are classified under heading 8715.00.00, further refines the scope of this provision, highlighting the specific "system" approach to the stroller's design.
As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9902.17.14 is definitive for products meeting the precise description provided. Importers should carefully review the physical attributes and intended functionality of their goods to ensure they align with the detailed specifications outlined, particularly concerning the modular seat and bassinet compatibility with the chassis.
