Overview
This HTS classification, 9903.91.01, falls under Chapter 99, which encompasses temporary legislation and special provisions. Specifically, this code addresses articles originating from China. Its application is contingent upon a specific effective date, September 27, 2024, and applies to entries made on or after this date, as further defined by U.S. Note 31(b) to this subchapter. It's crucial to note that this is a temporary measure and its scope is dictated by the specific provisions referenced in the U.S. Note.
As a category within Chapter 99, this code is distinct from the primary chapters of the HTS (Chapters 1-97) which classify goods based on their inherent physical characteristics, materials, or intended use. The sibling categories listed, such as live animals (0101-0105), represent goods classified under the standard HTS structure. This 9903.91.01 code, however, represents a special tariff treatment or restriction, rather than a permanent classification of a specific product type. Its purpose is to implement temporary trade policies or additional import requirements.
Since this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9903.91.01. The classification is precise and does not subdivide into more granular levels. Therefore, the focus for classification within this node is on verifying the origin of the goods as China and ensuring that the entry date aligns with the stipulated effective date of September 27, 2024, and that the goods are indeed covered by the stipulations of U.S. Note 31(b).
