9902.17.21 - Liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assemblies, each with a video display diagonal measuring over 78.74 cm but not over 81.28 cm (provided for in subheading 9013.80.90)

This HTS code, 9902.17.21, covers specific liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assemblies. The key defining characteristic for this classification is the physical dimension of the video display's diagonal measurement. Specifically, these panel assemblies must have a diagonal measurement exceeding 78.74 cm but not surpassing 81.28 cm. These are further classified under subheading 9013.80.90 in the permanent tariff schedule.

As this represents a specific temporary modification within Chapter 99, its distinction from sibling categories lies in its temporary nature and its focus on a precise range of LCD television panel dimensions. Other categories within Chapter 99 would pertain to different temporary tariff measures or import restrictions. Crucially, this category is distinct from the primary HTS chapters (01-98) that classify goods based on their inherent nature and function, as it addresses a specific, temporary trade policy intervention.

Since this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 9902.17.21. This means that any LCD television panel assembly meeting the specified diagonal measurement criteria will be classified directly under this code, provided all other conditions for temporary legislation are met. This specificity ensures that targeted trade policies are accurately applied to the intended goods.
