Overview
This HTS code, 9903.02.11, represents a specific temporary modification to import restrictions applicable to articles originating from Cambodia. It falls under Section XXII of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which deals with Special Classification Provisions and Temporary Legislation. This particular entry is designed to provide tariff treatment exceptions or conditions for Cambodian goods, subject to defined timeframes and specific product exclusions. The primary purpose of such a classification is to implement trade policies or agreements through adjustments to standard tariff rates or import quotas.
Unlike the preceding HTS categories which classify goods based on their inherent nature (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), 9903.02.11 operates as a superimposed rule that modifies the treatment of goods already classified under other headings. Therefore, it does not describe a distinct product category in the traditional sense but rather a conditional status applied to goods based on their origin and specific import circumstances. Its relevance lies in dictating whether certain Cambodian products are subject to standard duties, quotas, or other restrictions, or if they benefit from exemptions or modifications during the specified period.
As this is a leaf node, it does not possess subcategories. The detailed conditions for its application, including the precise dates, exclusions for specific product headings (e.g., 9903.01.30-9903.01.33), and further exceptions (9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01), are fully delineated within its description. Importers must carefully review these stipulations to determine the correct tariff treatment for Cambodian goods falling within the scope of this provision.
