Overview
This HTS category, 9902.17.89, specifically covers a particular type of adjustable-weight fitness dumbbell. The defining characteristic of these dumbbells is their ability to allow the user to select a specific weight from a predetermined range, either between 2 kg and 26 kg, or between 4 kg and 46 kg. Crucially, these dumbbells are designed with interlocking disks and rotating end dials, supported by a fitted plastic base, and must be certified by the importer as possessing these features. This classification is situated within Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, temporary modifications, and additional import restrictions.
Given its placement within Chapter 99, this category is distinct from the vast majority of HTS codes that classify goods based on their inherent nature, material, or primary function. Sibling categories within Chapter 99 would likely address other temporary trade provisions or restrictions. In contrast, the core physical goods described here, the adjustable-weight fitness dumbbells themselves, would typically be classified under HTS subheading 9506.91.00, which covers other articles and equipment for general physical exercise, gymnastics, or athletic purposes. This specific 9902 code therefore acts as a temporary or modified classification for these particular dumbbells, likely due to specific trade policy or legislative action.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.17.89. The classification is complete at this level, indicating that any goods meeting the precise description and criteria outlined are covered by this single code. The emphasis for classification under this entry is on the specific design features of the adjustable-weight mechanism and the weight range, along with the required importer certification, within the context of temporary trade measures.
