Overview
This HTS category, 9903.85.13, pertains to specific derivative aluminum products originating from the United Kingdom. These products are subject to special tariff provisions, as indicated by their placement within Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which deals with temporary legislation and trade agreements. The description explicitly notes that these classifications apply unless otherwise provided for in subheadings 9903.85.68 or 9903.85.70, and are specifically limited to those derivative aluminum products that fall under subdivision (q) of note 19 to this subchapter. This means the classification is highly precise, focusing on the origin (United Kingdom), the nature of the product (derivative aluminum), and adherence to specific supplementary notes.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within the HTS database is crucial. While other HTS codes might cover general aluminum products or goods from different origins, 9903.85.13 is narrowly tailored to derivative aluminum items from the UK that meet the detailed criteria outlined in the accompanying notes and specific exceptions. Unlike the primary HTS chapters that classify goods based on material and function (e.g., Chapter 76 for aluminum and articles thereof), this Chapter 99 code imposes additional, often temporary, trade measures or restrictions that modify the standard classification.
As this HTS code is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. This signifies that any product meeting the criteria of 9903.85.13 is directly classified here. For practical classification purposes, importers and exporters must confirm that the derivative aluminum product is indeed from the United Kingdom and that it is not exempted by the referenced subheadings 9903.85.68 or 9903.85.70, nor excluded by the specific requirements of subdivision (q) of note 19 to this subchapter. Understanding these precise stipulations is paramount to correct customs declaration and compliance.
