Overview
This HTS category, 9903.02.31, pertains to specific articles originating from Jordan, subject to particular temporary modifications and import restrictions. It falls under Section XXII, which covers temporary legislation and trade agreement provisions, including those under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The core of this classification is its focus on Jordanian products, with detailed conditions and exceptions outlined in the description regarding their entry into the United States.
Unlike the primary HTS chapters that classify goods by type (e.g., live animals in Chapter 1, or edible products), this category serves a distinct regulatory purpose. Its "siblings" at the Chapter 99 level are also dedicated to temporary measures, trade preferences, or specific restrictions, rather than the inherent nature of the goods themselves. Therefore, the distinguishing factor for 9903.02.31 is not the product's material or function, but its country of origin (Jordan) and the specific temporal and conditional limitations imposed on its importation.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 9903.02.31 does not have further subdivisions. This means that any product falling under this classification must meet all the stipulated requirements within this single code. The description itself acts as the definitive guide, detailing the exceptions and conditions under which these Jordanian articles are admissible, including precise dates and references to other HTS provisions that may further modify or exempt certain products. Careful attention to these specific temporal and conditional clauses is paramount for accurate classification.
