Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.17.93, pertains to specific types of fishing rods. These rods are constructed from fiberglass and carbon fiber, are of a one-piece design, and are presented for import without fishing reels. A key characteristic for classification under this provision is the value of each individual rod, which must be valued at $5 or more but not exceeding $50. This specific subcategory is established under temporary legislation, as indicated by its Chapter 99 designation, and its primary reference point for classification is the more general provision for fishing rods found in subheading 9507.10.00.
While other fishing equipment or components might fall under different HTS headings, this category is exclusively for the specified fiberglass and carbon fiber, one-piece fishing rods within a particular value range. It is crucial to distinguish this provision from general fishing tackle which might encompass other types of rods, reels, or complete fishing outfits. The "Special Classification Provisions" chapter (Chapter 99) signifies that these goods are subject to temporary modifications or specific import restrictions, and the valuation criteria are paramount for accurate classification.
As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification decisions for goods falling under 9902.17.93 will therefore be directly determined by the precise description, material composition, construction, and especially the per-unit value ($5 to $50) of the fishing rods in question, in conjunction with the overarching temporary legislation framework of Chapter 99 and its reference to subheading 9507.10.00.
