Overview
This HTS category, 9903.01.65, pertains to specific articles originating from Thailand that are subject to temporary import restrictions. The primary condition for goods falling under this classification is their origin from Thailand, coupled with specific temporal and conditional exclusions. Notably, goods already loaded onto a vessel for transit before a precise date and time in April 2025 are exempted. Furthermore, a separate exclusion exists for products covered by headings 9903.01.28 through 9903.01.33, and a distinct provision is outlined in heading 9903.01.34. It is important to note that the compiler's note indicates that this specific provision has been terminated.
Given the nature of Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and modifications, this category functions as a highly specific restriction rather than a broad product grouping. Its sibling categories within the broader HTS structure would represent distinct product types (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01) or other temporary provisions. This category's uniqueness lies in its targeted application to Thai goods under specific circumstances, serving as a temporary measure rather than a permanent classification of goods by their inherent characteristics or function.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9903.01.65 hinges entirely on meeting the origin (Thailand), the temporal exclusion criteria (transit before the specified date and time), and the specific exclusion criteria related to other temporary provisions. Importers must carefully review these conditions to determine if their goods are affected by this classification.
