Overview
HTS 9902.17.65 pertains to golf club putter heads that are subject to temporary legislation or modifications under special classification provisions. These provisions are often enacted through trade agreements or agricultural adjustment acts, and the "99" chapter is a repository for such temporary measures. The purpose of this classification is to track and potentially manage the import of these specific components, which are otherwise classifiable under subheading 9506.39.00, covering other golf club parts and accessories.
This category is distinguished from its sibling "01" series categories by its focus on a highly specific component of sporting equipment rather than live animals. While the "01" series deals with live farm animals for import/export, HTS 9902.17.65 addresses manufactured goods within a specialized import control framework. The "99" chapter, in general, serves as a placeholder for items undergoing temporary tariff treatments or subject to specific import restrictions, a stark contrast to the permanent classifications found in earlier chapters.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends at the level of the putter head itself, indicating that any further breakdown would typically occur within the permanent classification subheading (9506.39.00) that this temporary provision references. Therefore, the focus for classification under 9902.17.65 is solely on identifying the imported item as a golf club putter head qualifying for the stipulated temporary legislative treatment.
