9903.01.29 - Articles the product of any country identified in general note 3(b)

This HTS category, 9903.01.29, is a specialized provision designated for articles that originate from countries specifically identified within U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule General Note 3(b). These goods are subject to specific import restrictions or requirements as mandated by temporary legislation, modifications enacted through trade agreements, or additional import restrictions proclaimed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The "product of any country identified in general note 3(b)" serves as the primary classification criterion.

Unlike the vast array of product-specific HTS categories found in earlier chapters (e.g., Chapter 01 for live animals), this category is not defined by the physical characteristics or intended use of the goods themselves. Instead, its scope is determined by the country of origin and the specific legislative or executive actions that apply to those identified countries. Therefore, an item could physically be anything from agricultural commodities to manufactured goods, but its classification under 9903.01.29 hinges solely on its origin from a country listed in General Note 3(b) and the applicability of relevant trade legislation.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Its practical application requires careful verification of whether the imported article originates from a country currently designated in General Note 3(b) and if the specific goods are subject to the temporary legislation or restrictions referenced by this provision. Importers must consult General Note 3(b) and related proclamations to confirm eligibility and any associated duties, quotas, or other requirements.
