9903.01.84 - Except for products described in headings 9903.01.85-9903.01.89, articles the product of India that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025, as provided for in subdivision (z) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter

HTS Code 9903.01.84 specifically designates articles originating from India that are entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption after a specific date and time (12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 27, 2025). This classification falls under the temporary legislation and special provisions within Section XXII of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, indicating a temporary modification or restriction applied to these goods. The crucial factor for classification under this code is the origin of the product (India) and the timing of its entry into the U.S. customs territory, as stipulated by U.S. note 2(z) to this subchapter.

This particular HTS code is unique in its reliance on a temporal and geographical condition, rather than on the physical characteristics, material composition, or intended use of the product itself. Unlike sibling categories that begin with numerical prefixes like "0101" for live horses or "0102" for live bovine animals, which classify based on the inherent nature of the goods, 9903.01.84 serves as a specific modification to the standard tariff treatment. It acts as an overlay, potentially indicating special duties, quotas, or prohibitions that apply to Indian goods entering the U.S. within the defined timeframe.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore under 9903.01.84. The classification is definitive once the conditions of origin and entry date are met. Therefore, understanding the scope of this provision hinges on a precise interpretation of the "product of India" requirement and adherence to the specified date and time for customs entry.
