9903.88.36 - Articles the product of China, as provided for in U.S. note 20(oo) to this subchapter, each covered by an exclusion granted by the U.S. Trade Representative

HTS Code 9903.88.36 classifies specific articles originating from China that have been granted an exclusion by the U.S. Trade Representative. This classification is part of Chapter 99, which covers temporary legislation and additional import restrictions. Therefore, goods classified under this code are subject to special provisions beyond standard tariff duties. The key defining characteristic for this classification is the existence of a formal exclusion granted by the U.S. Trade Representative for that particular article.

Unlike other HTS codes within Chapter 99, which may cover broader temporary measures or trade agreement modifications, 9903.88.36 is highly specific. It applies *only* to products of China that have undergone an individual exclusion process and received official clearance from the U.S. Trade Representative. This distinguishes it from general HTS classifications that describe product types (e.g., Chapter 01 for live animals) or other temporary measures that do not involve such specific exclusions.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 9903.88.36 does not have subcategories. Classification under this code is definitive and depends solely on whether a specific article from China is listed in U.S. Note 20(oo) to this subchapter and has been granted an exclusion by the U.S. Trade Representative. Importers must verify the existence and validity of such an exclusion for each shipment to correctly classify their goods under this provision.
