Overview
HTS Code 9903.94.02 falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements legislation, and additional import restrictions proclaimed pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended. This specific code pertains to articles that are provisioned for under subdivision (c) of U.S. Note 33 to this subchapter, effective for entries made on or after April 3, 2025.
As a leaf node within the HTS database, 9903.94.02 does not have further subdivisions. Its practical classification relies on identifying whether an imported article meets the specific criteria outlined in U.S. Note 33(c). This note typically details particular goods or commodities subject to temporary additional duties or restrictions, often related to agricultural imports or national security concerns. The effective date is critical for determining applicability, meaning goods entered before April 3, 2025, would not be classified under this provision.
Distinguishing 9903.94.02 from its sibling categories requires examining the specific nature of the goods and the underlying legal authority. Unlike the primary chapters of the HTS which classify goods based on their inherent physical characteristics and intended use (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), Chapter 99 codes are dynamic. Their application is dictated by specific legislative actions and proclamations, overriding or modifying standard classifications for a defined period. Therefore, classification under 9903.94.02 is contingent upon the article fitting the description within U.S. Note 33(c) and the active status of this temporary measure.
