Overview
This HTS category, 9903.91.05, designates specific articles originating from China that are subject to temporary modifications or additional import restrictions. Specifically, it applies to goods falling under subdivision (f) of U.S. Note 31 to this subchapter, effective for entries made on or after January 1, 2025. The purpose of this classification is to implement specific trade policy measures on certain Chinese products beyond the standard tariff classifications.
Unlike the primary HTS chapters that classify goods based on their inherent physical characteristics, materials, or intended use (such as live animals in Chapters 01, or machinery in Chapter 84), this category serves as a placeholder for items targeted by specific, often time-limited, trade actions. Its inclusion within Section XXII, "Special Classification Provisions," highlights its role in managing goods subject to legislative or proclamatory measures that supersede or supplement the general tariff structure.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 9903.91.05 is therefore definitive for articles meeting the criteria outlined in subdivision (f) of U.S. Note 31. Importers must carefully consult U.S. Note 31 and any associated proclamations or amendments to ensure accurate application of this classification and any associated duties or restrictions.
