Overview
HTS Code 9902.17.79 specifically covers fitness equipment designed for circuit training, characterized by a steel frame and standing platform. These units incorporate six handles connected via cables and pulleys, offering variable resistance levels. A key feature is the electronic control panel, which enables wireless data exchange and includes a multicolored LED grid. This classification is provided for within subheading 9506.91.00, but its placement in Chapter 99 signifies a temporary legislative provision, modification, or restriction related to trade agreements or specific import regulations.
This category is distinct from the primary goods found in the earlier chapters of the HTS, which deal with live animals and a vast array of other manufactured and natural products. Unlike general sporting goods or exercise equipment found in Chapter 95, 9902.17.79 is reserved for specific items subject to temporary measures. The inclusion of "Temporary legislation; temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements legislation; additional import restrictions proclaimed pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended" as its overarching context in Section XXII clearly delineates its special status.
As a leaf node, HTS Code 9902.17.79 does not have further subdivisions. Its classification is highly specific, focusing on the precise combination of circuit training functionality, physical components like the steel frame and multiple-handle pulley system, and advanced electronic features such as wireless data exchange and LED displays. Importers and customs brokers should ensure that the imported merchandise precisely matches this detailed description to correctly apply this temporary tariff provision.
