9902.12.72 - Noils of camel hair (provided for in subheading 5103.10.00)

HTS code 9902.12.72 specifically addresses "Noils of camel hair," with the crucial caveat that these goods are provided for under subheading 5103.10.00. This category is part of Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, the inclusion of noils of camel hair in this section signifies a specific, temporary trade measure or restriction rather than a permanent classification within the standard Chapters 1-97.

Distinguishing this category from its direct siblings within the broader HTS database is essential. The siblings presented, such as live animals (0101-0105), represent vastly different types of goods falling under the primary structure of the Harmonized System. HTS code 9902.12.72, however, is a "temporary" provision. Its existence under Chapter 99 means it supersedes or modifies the general tariff treatment that would otherwise apply to camel hair noils under their primary HTS classification (5103.10.00). The key differentiator is its placement within the temporary legislation chapter, indicating a non-permanent and potentially conditional tariff status.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. The classification is definitive for noils of camel hair under the specific temporary measures or restrictions indicated by its Chapter 99 designation, with the primary classification for the goods themselves being found in subheading 5103.10.00. Importers must carefully consult the specific trade agreements, proclamations, or legislative texts associated with this 9902 code to understand the precise nature of any temporary modifications, quotas, or duties that may apply.
