Overview
This HTS category, 9903.91.11, covers articles that are the product of China, specifically those falling under subdivision (j) of U.S. note 31 to this subchapter. These are not broad product categories in themselves but rather a specific designation related to trade policy and potential import restrictions. The effective date of January 1, 2025, signifies that this classification applies to entries made on or after this date.
Unlike the substantive product categories found in earlier chapters of the HTS (such as live animals in Chapter 01), this category exists within Chapter 99, which is dedicated to temporary legislation and special provisions. Therefore, it is distinguished from sibling categories that classify physical goods based on their inherent nature and use. Instead, 9903.91.11 is a functional classification driven by the origin of the goods and specific U.S. trade regulations.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for eligible goods from China as specified by U.S. note 31. Importers must meticulously verify if their China-origin goods meet the criteria outlined in subdivision (j) of U.S. note 31 to correctly apply this classification and comply with any associated requirements or duties.
