9902.17.22 - Liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assemblies, each with a video display diagonal measuring over 81.28 cm but not over 99.06 cm (provided for in subheading 9013.80.90)

This HTS classification, 9902.17.22, specifically addresses liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assemblies. The defining characteristic of goods within this category is their video display diagonal measurement, which must exceed 81.28 cm but not surpass 99.06 cm. These are the unassembled display panels intended for use in televisions falling within the scope of subheading 9013.80.90.

As a temporary provision under Chapter 99, this category exists to implement specific trade policy measures, such as temporary modifications or import restrictions. Unlike the primary HTS categories which describe goods based on their inherent nature, composition, or intended use (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this provision creates a distinct classification for a particular subset of goods for a defined period. Therefore, direct comparison to sibling categories like live animals is not applicable, as this node pertains to a specialized tariff measure rather than a fundamental product grouping.

Given that 9902.17.22 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This means that any LCD television panel assembly meeting the specified diagonal measurement criteria and falling under the scope of the underlying provision (9013.80.90) would be classified directly under this temporary code. Classification relies solely on meeting the precise physical dimension requirements of the display panel.
