Overview
This HTS classification, 9903.76.22, specifically covers certain wood products originating from the European Union. The defining characteristic for inclusion under this code is that these wood products must also meet the specific criteria outlined in subdivisions (d) and (f) of U.S. Note 37 of this subchapter. Therefore, this is not a general classification for all EU wood products but rather a targeted provision for those satisfying these particular additional import restrictions.
To distinguish this category, it's crucial to understand that Chapter 99 of the HTS is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions. Unlike the substantive chapters (01-98) which classify goods based on their intrinsic nature, Chapter 99 codes often impose additional duties, quotas, or restrictions beyond the standard tariff. Therefore, the siblings of 9903.76.22, such as those beginning with 0101 through 0105, are entirely distinct, dealing with live animals and operating under fundamentally different classification principles. This code, 9903.76.22, is a specific tariff treatment applied to a subset of EU wood products.
As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 9903.76.22. Classification at this level is definitive, meaning that any wood product from the European Union that meets the conditions of U.S. Note 37(d) and (f) will fall directly under this specific HTS code, potentially subject to the temporary measures or restrictions associated with this Chapter 99 provision.
