Overview
This HTS category, 9822.03.01, designates specific goods originating from Morocco that benefit from preferential tariff treatment under the terms of General Note 27 to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These are not general goods but rather a precisely defined list of food products and preparations. The covered items include various types of sugar and sugar preparations, as well as cocoa and chocolate products, and certain prepared foodstuffs like pasta, sauces, and yeasts, as well as pharmaceutical preparations. The critical aspect of this classification is that these goods must also fall under one of the explicitly listed HTS subheadings.
Unlike the primary HTS categories that classify goods based on their inherent nature, material, or function (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this Chapter 98 classification is a "special classification provision." This means it does not define a new type of product but rather provides a specific tariff treatment, often preferential or temporary, for goods that would otherwise be classified under other chapters of the HTS. Therefore, its "siblings" in the broader HTS structure are similarly special provisions, temporary tariffs, or specific trade agreement-related classifications, rather than distinct product categories.
As a leaf node, HTS 9822.03.01 does not have further subcategories. The specific HTS subheadings listed within its description represent the complete scope of products eligible for this preferential treatment from Morocco. Compliance with the quantitative limits outlined in U.S. Note 6(b) to this subchapter is also a mandatory requirement for goods to be classified under this provision. Importers must ensure both the origin of the goods and that they fall within the specified HTS subheadings and the stated quantity limits to claim this special classification.
