Overview
This HTS classification, 9903.02.09, pertains to specific articles originating from Brazil. It falls under Section XXII of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which addresses temporary legislation, modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions imposed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This particular code is for goods from Brazil that are subject to these specific, temporary import restrictions.
Crucially, this classification is distinguished by its detailed temporal and product exclusions. It is not a broad category for all Brazilian goods. Instead, it applies only to products that meet very precise criteria regarding their loading and entry dates, and specifically excludes items already covered or provided for in other temporary provisions, such as those listed in headings 9903.01.30 through 9903.01.33 and 9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01. The primary purpose of this classification is to manage the import of a select group of Brazilian products under specific, time-sensitive trade policy measures.
As a leaf node, HTS 9903.02.09 has no further subcategories. Classification under this heading relies entirely on meeting the explicit conditions outlined in its description. Importers must meticulously verify that their Brazilian-origin goods are not covered by any of the listed exceptions and that they were in transit or entered for consumption within the specified timeframes to correctly apply this provision.
