Overview
This HTS classification, 9903.02.66, pertains to specific articles originating from the United Kingdom that are subject to a temporary modification or restriction under U.S. trade law. The core of this provision applies to goods from the United Kingdom unless they meet precise transit and entry timelines, specifically those loaded onto a vessel before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 7, 2025, and entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on October 5, 2025. Furthermore, this category excludes products already covered by headings 9903.01.30 through 9903.01.33, and is subject to exceptions outlined in headings 9903.01.34, 9903.02.01, and 9903.96.01.
Unlike the broader HTS classifications found in Chapters 01 through 98, which categorize goods based on their intrinsic physical characteristics, materials, or intended use, this category within Section XXII operates as a temporary legislative provision. It serves to implement specific trade policy measures related to imports from the United Kingdom, potentially adjusting duties or imposing restrictions outside of the standard tariff structure. The scope is defined by the origin (United Kingdom) and the specific temporary legislative framework, rather than by the inherent nature of the product itself.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific provision. Classification decisions within this heading would therefore rely on a careful examination of the goods against all the exclusionary and exceptionary clauses detailed in the description, as well as confirming their origin as a product of the United Kingdom. The crucial classification criteria here are the compliance with the stated temporal deadlines and the exclusion from or inclusion under the specified related temporary provision headings.
