Overview
HTS Code 9903.02.13 covers specific articles originating from Chad. This classification is subject to a complex set of temporary legislative provisions and modified proclamations, primarily enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The goods designated under this code are essentially those products from Chad that are subject to these temporary restrictions or modifications, with specific exclusions and conditions outlined within the description. These conditions often relate to the timing of shipment and entry for consumption, as well as other temporary measures that may apply.
This category is distinguished from its sibling categories by its focus on goods from a particular country of origin (Chad) and its application of specific temporary legislative measures, rather than the inherent physical characteristics or broad product categories found in the earlier chapters of the HTS (e.g., live animals). While other Chapter 99 headings might deal with temporary legislation, 9903.02.13 zeroes in on the specific trade provisions applicable to Chadian products under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act and related proclamations, including detailed time-sensitive exceptions.
As HTS Code 9903.02.13 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code relies entirely on meeting the precise origin requirements (product of Chad) and adhering to the specific, often time-bound, conditions and exceptions stipulated in its description and governing notes. Importers must carefully review all stipulated dates for loading, transit, and entry, as well as any exclusions for products covered by other specific headings, to ensure accurate classification and compliance.
