Overview
HTS Code 9903.02.36 specifically designates articles originating from Liechtenstein that are subject to temporary import restrictions or modifications. This classification is situated within Section XXII, which encompasses temporary legislation and modifications enacted under trade agreements, as well as additional import restrictions proclaimed pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, goods falling under this code are not classified based on their inherent physical characteristics or standard end-use, but rather due to specific trade policy measures in effect at a particular time.
Unlike the preceding sibling categories, such as those for live animals (headings 0101-0105), which classify goods by their fundamental biological nature and species, HTS 9903.02.36 pertains to a special import regime. The description indicates that these restrictions are contingent upon specific dates for loading, transit, and entry, highlighting the temporary and time-sensitive nature of this provision. Furthermore, it references exceptions to these restrictions found in other headings within Chapter 99, such as 9903.01.30-9903.01.33 and 9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01, underscoring the need for meticulous examination of all applicable temporary legislation.
As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. The classification is complete at this level, signifying that any product from Liechtenstein falling within the defined temporary restrictions and not covered by the listed exceptions would be classified under 9903.02.36. Importers must pay close attention to the specific dates and product exclusions mentioned in the descriptive text to ensure accurate classification and compliance with these special provisions.
