Overview
HTS code 9903.01.05 specifically covers potash that originates from Mexico. This classification falls under Section XXII, which deals with Special Classification Provisions and Temporary Legislation, particularly restrictions imposed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. U.S. note 2(c) to this subchapter provides the definitive criteria for identifying potash eligible for this classification, emphasizing its country of origin and the specific trade provisions it falls under.
This category is distinct from other HTS classifications for potash or similar fertilizer materials. While other headings might cover potash based on its chemical composition (e.g., potassium chloride) or its intended use as a fertilizer, 9903.01.05 is solely determined by its Mexican origin and the application of temporary import restrictions. Therefore, any potash not originating from Mexico, or not subject to the specific provisions referenced in the note, would be classified elsewhere.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9903.01.05 does not have further subcategories. Classification under this code is final for eligible Mexican-origin potash, with the primary classification criteria being the country of origin and adherence to the conditions stipulated in U.S. note 2(c) to this subchapter. This ensures that only the intended goods, subject to specific trade policy measures, are correctly identified.
