9903.01.83 - Articles of iron or steel; derivative articles of iron or steel; articles of aluminum; derivative articles of aluminum; wood products; passenger vehicles (sedans, sport utility vehicles, crossover utility vehicles, minivans and cargo vans); light trucks; parts of passenger vehicles (sedans, sport utility vehicles, crossover utility vehicles, minivans and cargo vans) and light trucks; medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; parts of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; semi-finished copper; and intensive copper derivative products, of Brazil, as provided in subdivisions (x)(v) through (x)(xiv) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter

This HTS classification, 9903.01.83, pertains to a specific set of goods originating from Brazil that are subject to special import provisions. It encompasses a diverse range of products including articles manufactured from iron, steel, and aluminum, along with their derivative forms. Additionally, it covers various wood products and specific categories of motor vehicles, namely passenger vehicles (including sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, and cargo vans), light trucks, and medium- to heavy-duty vehicles. The classification also extends to parts for these vehicles, as well as semi-finished and intensive derivative copper products.

The defining characteristic of this category is its origin from Brazil and its inclusion within Chapter 99, which signifies temporary legislation and specific trade agreement modifications, often related to quantitative restrictions or duties. Unlike the primary chapters of the HTS that classify goods based solely on their inherent physical characteristics and use, this category acts as a modifier, applying special rules to goods that might otherwise fall under different chapters. For instance, while general articles of iron or steel would be classified in Chapter 72 or 73, these Brazilian-origin items are routed here to reflect specific trade policy measures.

As a leaf node within its classification structure, 9903.01.83 does not have further subcategories. The description itself delineates the precise scope of goods covered. Therefore, classification under this code relies on verifying that the imported article meets the material, product type, and origin requirements as detailed in the description and any associated U.S. notes, such as U.S. note 2 to this subchapter, which would outline the specific subdivisions (x)(v) through (x)(xiv).
