9903.02.44 - Except for goods loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and in transit on the final mode of transit before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 7, 2025, and entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on October 5, 2025, except for products described in headings 9903.01.30-9903.01.33, and except as provided for in headings 9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01, articles the product of Namibia, as provided for in subdivision (v) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter

This HTS category, 9903.02.44, pertains to specific temporary import restrictions and modifications related to products originating from Namibia. These provisions are established under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended, and are part of Chapter 99, which covers temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications. The classification is highly conditional, applying to goods that meet precise criteria regarding their loading and entry dates, with explicit exceptions for certain product groups delineated in other headings within this subchapter.

Unlike the primary HTS chapters that classify goods based on their inherent nature, material, or function (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this category falls under "Special Classification Provisions." It therefore does not describe a type of product itself but rather imposes specific tariff or import requirements on certain goods based on their origin and the timing of their importation. The restrictions are a temporary measure and are not reflective of the general classification of the goods themselves.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9903.02.44. The classification is determined by a strict adherence to the specific date and product exclusions outlined in the description. Importers must carefully verify that their Namibian-origin goods meet all stipulated conditions to qualify for or be subject to the provisions of this temporary tariff code.
