Overview
This HTS category, 9903.02.74, designates specific articles originating from the European Union that are subject to special classification provisions under U.S. note 2(v)(xvi) of this subchapter. These are not broadly defined by a physical product type but rather by their origin and a specific set of temporary legislative or trade agreement-related modifications. The classification is therefore determined by the product's origin and its inclusion within the scope of the referenced U.S. note, which overrides or modifies standard tariff treatments.
Unlike the preceding sibling categories, which classify a wide array of live animals based on species (e.g., horses, bovine animals, swine), 9903.02.74 does not pertain to the direct classification of live animals. Its focus is on specific goods that have undergone a particular trade policy or legislative intervention, originating from a designated region. Therefore, while siblings classify goods by their inherent nature and biological characteristics, this category classifies goods based on their origin and specific policy treatment.
As a leaf node, this category has no further subdivisions. Classification under 9903.02.74 is definitive once the origin and the applicability of U.S. note 2(v)(xvi) are confirmed. Importers must consult the detailed text of U.S. note 2(v)(xvi) to ascertain which specific articles from the European Union fall under this provision and are therefore subject to the temporary legislation or modified trade conditions it outlines.
