Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.17.56, specifically covers golf club driver heads that are permanently marked with a loft of 9.5 degrees. These provisions fall under Chapter 99, which addresses temporary legislation and modifications. The "provided for in subheading 9506.39.00" note indicates that the primary classification for such items would typically reside in Chapter 95, relating to sports goods, but this Chapter 99 entry creates a specific, likely temporary, tariff treatment for these particular driver heads.
Unlike the numerous sibling categories within the HTS, which span a vast array of live animals, agricultural products, and manufactured goods, this entry is highly specialized. Its distinctiveness lies in its focus on a singular golf component, identified by its precise loft specification. This narrow scope distinguishes it from broader categories of sporting equipment or general golf club parts, highlighting its unique tariff treatment.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for golf club driver heads meeting the specified loft and marking criteria. Importers should note that the "provided for in subheading 9506.39.00" designation is crucial for understanding the underlying classification of the goods before applying the temporary provisions of Chapter 99.
