Overview
This HTS category, 9903.45.25, designates specific "modules" as defined by Note 18(g) to this subchapter. Crucially, these modules must originate from countries *other than* those enumerated in Note 18(b). This classification is part of the Special Classification Provisions, specifically addressing temporary legislation and modifications proclaimed under trade agreements and Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. It is a mechanism for imposing additional import restrictions on these particular goods.
Unlike the preceding chapters of the HTS which classify goods based on their inherent physical characteristics and intended use (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this category falls under temporary and special provisions. Its scope is determined by specific notes and proclamations rather than fundamental product classification principles. Therefore, the distinguishing factor is not the intrinsic nature of the "module" itself, but rather its country of origin relative to the exceptions detailed in Note 18(b), and the fact that it is subject to these specific temporary import restrictions.
As a leaf node within the HTS database, HTS code 9903.45.25 does not have further subcategories. Classification decisions within this code will therefore focus on verifying that the imported "module" meets the definition provided in Note 18(g) and that its country of origin is indeed one not listed in Note 18(b), while also checking against the exceptions provided in headings 9903.45.27 and 9903.45.29.
