Overview

This HTS category, 9903.02.50, pertains to a specific temporary modification impacting articles originating from Norway. It outlines a time-sensitive exception to certain import restrictions. The core of this provision applies to goods from Norway that meet precise shipping and entry deadlines, specifically those loaded onto a vessel before August 7, 2025, and entered for consumption before October 5, 2025. This classification is distinct from general tariff lines for Norwegian goods, as it addresses a particular, legislated temporary restriction with defined temporal limitations.

The scope of this category is further refined by explicitly excluding certain other provisions. It does not apply to products already covered under headings 9903.01.30 through 9903.01.33, nor does it apply to exceptions detailed in headings 9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01. Therefore, to correctly classify goods under this sub-heading, it is crucial to verify both the origin (Norway) and the adherence to the specified transit and entry dates, while also confirming that the product is not subject to other overriding temporary measures. As a leaf node, this classification does not further subdivide but represents a final, specific tariff provision.
