9902.17.23 - Liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assemblies, each with a video display diagonal measuring over 99.06 cm but not over 101.6 cm (provided for in subheading 9013.80.90)

This HTS category, 9902.17.23, specifically addresses liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assemblies. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this provision is the diagonal measurement of the video display screen. Goods classified here must have a screen diagonal that exceeds 99.06 centimeters but does not surpass 101.6 centimeters. This code is a temporary provision, found within Chapter 99, indicating a temporary modification or restriction related to trade agreements or agricultural adjustments, and it directs classification to subheading 9013.80.90 for permanent placement.

Unlike the primary HTS chapters that classify goods by their fundamental nature, such as live animals in Chapter 01, this category exists within the Special Classification Provisions. Its existence highlights a specific, likely temporary, trade measure focused on a particular component of a consumer electronic product. Therefore, its distinction from sibling categories like those covering live animals or other raw materials lies in its nature as a specialized, duty- or restriction-related provision for a finished component, rather than a broad classification of goods by material or primary function.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, category 9902.17.23 has no further subdivisions. This means that any liquid crystal display (LCD) television panel assembly meeting the exact size criteria (over 99.06 cm but not over 101.6 cm diagonal) will be classified directly under this code. The critical classification criterion is solely the specified diagonal screen measurement of the panel assembly itself.
