Overview
This HTS category, 9903.88.09, specifically addresses articles that are the product of China and were exported to the United States before May 10, 2019, and subsequently entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption between May 10, 2019, and June 15, 2019. This classification is tied to U.S. Note 20(l) of this subchapter and the subheadings enumerated in U.S. Notes 20(f) or 20(g), indicating a specific set of goods affected by temporary trade measures.
Unlike the broader sibling categories in Chapter 99 which cover various temporary legislation and modifications, HTS 9903.88.09 is highly specific in its temporal and geographical scope. It does not pertain to live animals (Chapters 01), manufactured goods, or any other general tariff items. Its function is to apply specific tariff treatments, likely additional duties or restrictions, to Chinese goods that met precise entry timelines following a particular trade action.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification under this code is definitive once the origin (China), the timeframe of export from China (before May 10, 2019), and the timeframe of entry into the U.S. (between May 10, 2019, and June 15, 2019) are established, alongside compliance with the referenced U.S. Notes.
