9903.01.51 - Except for goods loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 2025, except for products described in headings 9903.01.28-9903.01.33, and except as provided for in heading 9903.01.34, articles the product of Côte d`Ivoire or Namibia, as provided for in subdivision (v) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter [Compiler's note: provision terminated. See 90 Fed. Reg. 37963.]

This HTS category, 9903.01.51, pertains to specific articles originating from Côte d'Ivoire or Namibia that are subject to temporary legislation and potential import restrictions. It is crucial to note that the provision described herein has been terminated. The description highlights specific exclusions, including goods already loaded onto a vessel for transit before a particular date and time, as well as products covered by headings 9903.01.28-9903.01.33 and 9903.01.34.

As a temporary and now terminated provision within Section XXII, this category is distinct from the primary goods classifications found in Chapters 1-98 of the HTS. Unlike the core chapters which classify goods based on their inherent characteristics and end-use, this category addresses specific trade policy measures. Its siblings would also be found within Chapter 99 and relate to other temporary modifications, quotas, or special import restrictions, rather than the direct classification of commodities like live animals (e.g., 0101-0105).

Since this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories. The focus is on the specific conditions and exclusions outlined in the description, particularly the terminated status and the reference to subdivision (v) of U.S. note 2, which further defines the scope and limitations of this now historical provision. Understanding the context of its termination is paramount for accurate classification, as it is no longer actively applied.
