Overview

This HTS category, 9903.81.82, specifically classifies iron or steel products that meet a precise set of origin and processing criteria. To fall under this heading, the goods must be described in subdivision (b) of note 16 to this subchapter, indicating a specific definition of what constitutes an "iron or steel product" for the purposes of this provision. Crucially, these products must have been melted and poured in Ukraine. Furthermore, they must be products of the member countries of the European Union enumerated in U.S. note 16(f) to this subchapter, establishing a dual requirement for both origin and the involvement of specific EU member states.

This classification is a temporary measure under the Special Classification Provisions, distinct from the broader classifications found in Chapters 1-98 of the HTSUS. While other chapters might cover iron and steel products based on their material, form, or end-use, 9903.81.82 addresses specific trade policy measures related to Ukrainian origin and EU member state manufacturing. Its placement within Chapter 99 signifies its role as a temporary modification or restriction, rather than a permanent tariff classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive once the criteria outlined in the description are met. Importers and customs brokers must carefully review U.S. note 16(b) and 16(f) to ensure the products in question satisfy all conditions related to their processing and origin within the specified Ukrainian and EU member state context.
