Overview
This HTS category, 9903.01.81, designates specific articles originating from Brazil. Its classification is contingent upon their placement within subdivision (x)(iii) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter. This provision acts as a temporary measure or restriction, indicating that the goods falling under this code are subject to special rules, likely due to trade agreements or specific import regulations affecting Brazilian products.
Unlike the preceding sibling categories within Chapter 99 which often represent broad categories of temporary legislation or modifications, 9903.01.81 is highly specific. It is not defined by the physical characteristics or primary use of the goods in the same way as, for example, headings like 0101 (live horses) or 0102 (live bovine animals). Instead, its applicability is determined by a cross-reference to a particular U.S. note and a specific subdivision within it, highlighting a targeted trade policy rather than a general product grouping.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of any imported article under 9903.01.81 relies solely on its origin (Brazil) and its specific designation within the aforementioned U.S. note 2, subdivision (x)(iii). Therefore, for accurate classification, importers must consult the detailed text of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter to ascertain whether their Brazilian-origin goods fall under the specified conditions.
