9902.17.28 - Bicycle speedometers (provided for in 9029.20.20)

This HTS classification, 9902.17.28, specifically covers bicycle speedometers. These devices are designed to measure and display the speed of a bicycle, often including features such as distance traveled and average speed. The "provided for in 9029.20.20" notation indicates that the primary classification for these goods under the standard HTS structure would be within heading 9029, which deals with revolution counters, distance recorders, pedometers, electricity meters, and similar instruments, and specifically subheadings related to speed indicators for vehicles.

This category is unique within Chapter 99 as it represents a temporary or special provision. Unlike the vast array of physical goods found in the preceding chapters (0101 through, for example, 9801), this code does not represent a broad product category. Instead, it signifies a specific modification or allowance applied to a particular type of goods that would otherwise fall under a different, standard HTS heading.

As a leaf node, 9902.17.28 has no further subcategories. Its purpose is to apply specific tariff treatment, likely temporary or conditional, to bicycle speedometers that have already been identified as belonging to heading 9029. The practical application of this code would involve understanding the specific trade agreements, temporary legislation, or other proclamations that led to its creation and the conditions under which it applies to importations.
