Overview
This HTS category, 9902.01.01, specifically addresses frozen and boiled glutinous corn, excluding sweet corn, that has not been reduced in size. This designation is part of temporary legislation and special classification provisions, indicating it is subject to specific import restrictions and modifications, often related to agricultural policies. The goods are characterized by their processing (frozen and boiled) and specific varietal type (glutinous corn), distinguishing them from fresh corn or corn undergoing different preparation methods.
Unlike the sibling categories in Chapter 01, which cover live animals, this node pertains solely to agricultural commodities. The parent context of Chapter 99 highlights that this classification is not a standard commodity heading but rather a provision for temporary measures or specific trade agreement impacts. The parenthetical reference to subheading 0710.80.70 within the description provides crucial linkage to the permanent tariff structure, indicating that while this 9902 code imposes specific, often additional, regulations, the underlying classification of the goods falls under frozen vegetables.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific 9902 code. The classification is precise, covering only glutinous corn that meets the specified processing and size criteria. Any deviations, such as the presence of sweet corn, different processing methods (e.g., dried or canned), or a reduction in size (e.g., kernels removed or milled), would necessitate classification under different HTS codes, potentially within Chapter 07 or other applicable sections depending on the specific circumstances and prevailing trade regulations.
