Overview
This HTS category, 9903.91.02, specifically addresses articles that are the product of China, subject to the provisions outlined in subdivision (c) of U.S. note 31 to the relevant subchapter. This classification is part of Section XXII, which deals with special classification provisions, temporary legislation, and modifications proclaimed under trade agreements or section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Unlike the preceding chapters which detail the classification of goods based on their material composition, intended use, or physical characteristics, Chapter 99 is reserved for temporary measures and additional import restrictions. Therefore, this node is not distinguished from its sibling categories in the same way as typical HS classifications. Instead, its uniqueness lies in its function as a temporary restriction on specific Chinese-origin goods, irrespective of their inherent nature, pending further statutory or proclamation changes.
As a leaf node, HTS 9903.91.02 does not have further subcategories. Its scope is precisely defined by the conditions stated: being a product of China and falling under the specific requirements of U.S. note 31(c), effective from September 27, 2024. This signifies a targeted import control mechanism rather than a broad product classification.
