Overview
This HTS classification, 9903.02.64, pertains to specific articles originating from Turkey. It is important to note that this category is part of a broader set of temporary legislation and special classification provisions, indicating that its application is time-sensitive and subject to specific conditions. The primary characteristic defining goods under this heading is their origin from Turkey and their classification under subdivision (v) of U.S. note 2 to the relevant subchapter, signifying a particular trade agreement or statutory provision.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling HTS codes, which generally cover a vast array of goods such as live animals (0101-0105), is crucial. While the sibling categories are defined by the fundamental nature and type of goods, 9903.02.64 is primarily distinguished by its specific origin, restrictive temporal clauses, and exclusions. The lengthy exceptions and specific dates outlined in the description are paramount for accurate classification, highlighting that it is not a general tariff heading but rather a temporary modification or restriction.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, for practical classification, users must meticulously examine the textual conditions stipulated within the description. This includes verifying the date of loading, the date of entry for consumption or withdrawal from warehouse, and ensuring the goods are not excluded by the specified headings (9903.01.30-9903.01.33) nor fall under the exceptions provided in headings 9903.01.34 and 9903.02.01. Failure to meet any of these criteria would result in the goods not being classified under this specific heading.
