Overview
HTS code 9903.01.64 falls under Section XXII, which addresses temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and agricultural import restrictions. This specific classification pertains to articles originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina that are subject to special import rules. Crucially, the provision outlines specific exceptions, including goods already in transit before a designated date and time (12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on April 9, 2025), as well as articles covered by other temporary provisions (headings 9903.01.28-9903.01.33 and 9903.01.34). It is important to note that this provision has been terminated, as indicated by the compiler's note referencing the Federal Register.
Distinguishing 9903.01.64 from its sibling categories at the HTS Database Root level involves understanding the fundamental structure of the HTS. The sibling categories presented (e.g., 0101 for live horses, 0102 for live bovine animals) classify goods based on their inherent nature and primary use across various chapters of the Harmonized System. In contrast, 9903.01.64 is a temporary, special provision that does not classify goods by product type but rather imposes specific conditions or restrictions on certain imported articles based on their origin and the prevailing trade regulations.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9903.01.64 does not have subcategories. Therefore, its classification relies entirely on the precise criteria outlined within its description and the surrounding notes for Section XXII. Importers must carefully review all stated exceptions and conditions to determine the applicability of this specific tariff code to their shipments originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The terminated status of this provision means it is no longer actively enforced, but understanding its historical context can be relevant for past transactions or comparative analysis.
