Overview
This HTS category, 9903.02.27, pertains to specific articles originating from Indonesia that are subject to temporary modification or restriction under U.S. trade legislation. These provisions are enacted pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act and relate to temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements. The core of this classification revolves around articles that are the product of Indonesia, with detailed exceptions and conditions outlined regarding their entry into the United States, including specific timeframes and exclusions for certain product categories.
Unlike the broad product-based categories found in the earlier chapters of the HTS (e.g., Chapter 01 covering live animals), this category falls under Section XXII, which deals with special classification provisions and temporary legislative measures. This distinction is crucial, as Chapter 99 is not defined by the inherent nature of the goods themselves but rather by specific temporary trade policies, quotas, or restrictions that are implemented for a limited duration. Therefore, the classification here is driven by the origin (Indonesia) and specific timing and exceptions related to import, rather than the intrinsic characteristics of the goods themselves, such as whether they are live bovine animals (0102) or live swine (0103).
As a leaf node within the HTS, 9903.02.27 does not have further subcategories. Its precise application is determined by the detailed stipulations within its description, which include specific dates for transit and entry, as well as exclusions for products classified under headings 9903.01.30-9903.01.33 and specific allowances under 9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01. Importers must carefully review these conditions to ensure compliance when classifying Indonesian articles under this provision.
