9903.01.34 - The U.S. content of articles the product of any country, in which the U.S. content of the article provides at least 20 percent of the Customs value of the imported article, as provided for in subdivision (v)(xvi) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter

HTS code 9903.01.34 falls under Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which is designated for temporary legislation and special classification provisions. This specific subheading covers articles where the U.S. content comprises at least 20 percent of the Customs value of the imported article. This provision is enacted under subdivision (v)(xvi) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter, indicating it is a specific measure tied to trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

Unlike the preceding sibling categories in Chapters 01 through 88, which classify goods based on their inherent nature, materials, or intended use (e.g., live animals, agricultural products, manufactured goods), HTS 9903.01.34 is not determined by the product itself but by its specific U.S. content and the associated value threshold. Therefore, it is not differentiated from its siblings by the type of good but by the criteria of domestic value content and its relation to special trade legislation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9903.01.34 requires a thorough analysis of the imported article to substantiate the percentage of U.S. content and its corresponding value relative to the total Customs value. Importers must be prepared to provide documentation to support this claim, as it dictates eligibility for this special provision.
