Overview

This HTS category, 9903.85.08, specifically pertains to derivative aluminum products that fall under the enumerated tariff provisions within subdivision (k) of Note 19 to this subchapter. The classification is further refined by excluding items covered by specific exceptions detailed in headings 9903.85.09, 9903.85.68, or 9903.85.70. These are generally considered temporary or specially designated import restrictions, not standard product categories.

Unlike the primary commodity headings found in Chapters 1 through 97, this classification is located within Chapter 99, which is dedicated to temporary legislation and special provisions. Therefore, it does not cover general categories of goods such as live animals (e.g., 0101, 0102), but rather specific, often tariff-related, restrictions or modifications applied to certain goods, in this instance, derivative aluminum products. The scope is narrowly defined by the specific note and exceptions provided.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9903.85.08. Classification within this heading requires careful review of the specific derivative aluminum product and a thorough understanding of the referenced subdivision (k) of Note 19 to ensure it meets the criteria and is not subject to the specified exclusions. This heading functions as a specific control point within the broader framework of temporary import measures.
