Overview
This HTS category, 9903.02.54, specifically addresses articles that are the product of Serbia. It is important to note that this classification is subject to several temporal and product-specific exceptions. The primary condition for classification under this heading is the origin of the goods from Serbia, as further defined by subdivision (v) of U.S. note 2 to this subchapter. This designation falls under Section XXII, which encompasses temporary legislation and special classification provisions, including those enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Unlike the broader categories found in Chapters 01 through 98, which classify goods based on their inherent nature, material, or function, Chapter 99 headings are dedicated to temporary measures. Therefore, this category does not describe a type of product in the conventional sense but rather a specific import restriction or condition applied to Serbian goods under certain trade agreements or legislative actions. Its "sibling" categories within Chapter 99 would similarly represent other temporary modifications or additional import restrictions, each with its own unique set of applicable goods and conditions, distinct from the physical descriptions of products found in earlier chapters.
As a leaf node in the HTS database, this specific code does not have further subdivisions. The description provided is the most granular level of detail for this particular classification. The numerous exceptions and specific dates outlined in the description are critical for determining whether goods originating from Serbia are subject to the provisions of this heading. These exceptions highlight the dynamic nature of temporary trade measures and the precise conditions required for accurate classification.
