Overview

This specific HTS code, 9902.13.86, pertains to specially designed agricultural control nets intended to protect mandarin trees from bee pollination. The nets are characterized by their construction from high-density polypropylene monofilament and feature interspersed eye knots at regular intervals. Specific dimensions of approximately 441.5 m by 12.8 m or 274.3 m x 12.8 m are noted, and the nets are finished at the edges and presented in rolls. This classification falls under temporary legislation and import restrictions, indicating a specific trade or agricultural policy context.

Given that this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no direct subcategories to introduce. The function and specific physical attributes, such as material, knot type, dimensions, and presentation, are key to accurately classifying goods under this provision. Unlike broader categories within Chapter 63 (which this code references as its base), this provision carves out a very specific use and construction for agricultural protection, distinguishing it from general textile articles or other types of nets.

The placement within Chapter 99 signifies that these nets are subject to temporary modifications or restrictions under trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This is a critical differentiator from standard classifications where the primary consideration is the nature of the goods themselves. Importers must be aware of these special provisions, as they may dictate specific documentation, duty rates, or quantitative limitations beyond the standard tariff classification.
