9903.85.67 - Aluminum articles that are the product of Russia, or where any amount of primary aluminum used in the manufacture of the aluminum articles is smelted in Russia, or where the aluminum articles are cast in Russia, the foregoing under the terms of note 19(a)(vii)(A) to this subchapter, or note 19(m)(A) to this subchapter, as applicable per the date of entry for consumption or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption, except any exclusions that may be determined and announced by the Department of Commerce

This HTS classification, 9903.85.67, pertains to specific aluminum articles originating from or significantly processed in Russia. The scope of this provision extends to articles where any amount of the primary aluminum utilized in their manufacture was smelted in Russia, or where the aluminum articles themselves were cast in Russia. It is crucial to note that the applicability of this classification is governed by specific notes within subchapter 19, particularly sub-notes (a)(vii)(A) and (m)(A), and is contingent upon the date of entry for consumption or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption. Furthermore, this classification is subject to any exclusions that may be determined and announced by the Department of Commerce.

As a provision within Chapter 99, this category represents a temporary import restriction or modification under trade agreements legislation, distinct from the substantive product chapters that precede it. Its siblings are other temporary or special classification provisions, not the general tariff classifications for aluminum articles found in Chapters 76. This HTS code specifically targets aluminum products based on their Russian origin or manufacturing process, a critical factor for customs authorities to determine compliance with specific trade policies.

Since 9903.85.67 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on accurately identifying aluminum articles that meet the defined criteria of Russian origin or processing to ensure correct application of this temporary trade measure. Importers must carefully review the specified notes and any published exclusions to determine if their aluminum articles fall under this classification, distinct from general import duties.
