Overview
This HTS category, 9903.01.73, pertains to specific articles originating from Madagascar, subject to certain temporary trade modifications and import restrictions. It is crucial to note that this provision has been terminated, as indicated by the compiler's note, rendering it inactive for current import classifications. Historically, it would have applied to goods from Madagascar, with specific exceptions for items loaded before a certain date and for products falling under specified other temporary provisions.
As a category within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and modifications, 9903.01.73 is distinct from the primary goods classifications found in Chapters 1 through 97. Its siblings, such as 0101 (Live horses) or 0102 (Live bovine animals), represent fundamental product categories based on the inherent nature and type of goods. In contrast, 9903.01.73 functions as a modifier, imposing or lifting restrictions on specific goods based on their country of origin and proclamations under trade legislation, rather than defining the goods themselves by their material or form.
Since this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. The classification is highly specific, detailing exceptions and effective dates, underscoring its nature as a temporary and now terminated trade measure. Therefore, classification under 9903.01.73 would historically have required careful examination of the origin of the goods (Madagascar), the precise nature of the product in relation to the excluded headings (9903.01.28-9903.01.33 and 9903.01.34), and the shipment's transit status relative to the specified date and time.
