Overview
This HTS code, 9902.17.86, falls under Chapter 99, which encompasses temporary legislation and special provisions. Specifically, this subheading covers adjustable-weight fitness dumbbells. These dumbbells are characterized by their weight range, from 2 kg up to a maximum of 30 kg, and possess the capability for wireless data exchange. Key physical attributes include a rotating single handle grip that secures interlocking disks with weight plates, all supported by a fitted plastic base. The classification also extends to these dumbbells even if they are presented in a package alongside units that lack wireless data exchange capabilities, provided those accompanying units would otherwise fall under subheading 9506.91.00.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within the broader HTS system is crucial. While other HTS codes might classify general sporting goods or electronic devices, 9902.17.86 is a highly specific provision designed for a niche product combining fitness equipment with integrated technology. Its placement within Chapter 99 indicates that this classification is subject to temporary measures or specific trade agreements, rather than permanent tariff structures found in earlier chapters.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.17.86 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification relies solely on meeting the detailed physical and functional criteria outlined in its description. Importers must carefully assess whether the dumbbells in question precisely match the weight specifications, wireless capabilities, and structural features described to ensure accurate classification under this special provision.
