9902.17.57 - Golf club driver heads, each stamped or otherwise permanently marked to indicate a loft over 9.5 degrees (provided for in subheading 9506.39.00)

This HTS classification, 9902.17.57, specifically addresses golf club driver heads that are permanently marked to denote a loft exceeding 9.5 degrees. These are distinct from general golf equipment, which would fall under Chapter 95, by their temporary classification under Chapter 99. The primary distinguishing feature is the explicit loft angle marking, which is a critical criterion for this specific provision.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus is on understanding the precise conditions for classification. Importers should ensure that the driver heads meet the loft requirement and that the permanent marking is clearly visible and verifiable. The "provided for in subheading 9506.39.00" clause indicates that these driver heads would otherwise be classified under general golf equipment if not for the specific temporary legislation governing this provision.
