❓ What are HTS Notes? | 什么是 HTS 注释？

📖
The HTS includes general notes, section notes, chapter notes, U.S.
notes, and statistical notes. You’ll learn about all of them in this
lesson.
📖 HTS 包括总注释、章节注释、章注、美国注释和统计注释。本课程将介绍所有这些注释。

🔹 General Notes | 总注释

📖
The HTS General Notes (GNs) contain the rules for applying the HTS.
They are U.S. provisions that explain the various rates of duty in the
HTS, the countries to which they pertain, and any rules or conditions
that must be met to obtain particular tariff treatment, such as rules of
origin.
📖 HTS 总注释（GNs）包含应用 HTS 的规则。这些是美国的规定，解释了 HTS 中各种关税税率、适用的国家，以及获取特定关税待遇（如原产地规则）所需遵守的规则或条件。

📖 GNs have legal status and provide authoritative guidance on many aspects of tariff structure and programs.
📖 总注释具有法律效力，并为关税结构和程序的许多方面提供权威指导。

📖 Currently, there are a total of 36 GNs, some of them enacted by Congress and others proclaimed by the President.
📖 目前，共有 36 条 GNs，其中一些由国会制定，另一些由总统宣布。

📖
GNs 1-3 and GN 15 deal with matters throughout the HTS, and the other
GNs deal with specific tariff programs or agreements, such as USMCA and
the Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft.
📖 GNs 1-3 和 GN 15 涉及整个 HTS 的事项，其他 GNs 处理特定的关税程序或协议，例如 USMCA 和民用飞机贸易协议。

📖 Remember to consult the General Notes for rules and conditions that apply to the products in your area of responsibility.
📖 记得查阅总注释，了解适用于您负责领域内产品的规则和条件。

📖
Remember! Although USITC analysts and other users may become highly
familiar with the HTS and classification principles, CBP is the only
U.S. government agency authorized to classify imported goods.
📖 记住！虽然 USITC 分析员和其他用户可能非常熟悉 HTS 和分类原则，但 CBP 是唯一被授权对进口商品进行分类的美国政府机构。

🔹 What do General Notes Cover? | 总注释涵盖什么内容？

📖 GNs cover the treatment of goods imported under each preference program or free trade agreement (FTA).
📖 总注释涵盖在每个优惠计划或自由贸易协议（FTA）下进口商品的处理。

📖
Each of these programs and FTAs have unique rules of origin that must
be met for each shipment and established by proper documentation.
📖 这些程序和自由贸易协议都有独特的原产地规则，必须通过适当的文件来确认每一批货物符合这些规则。

📖
For preference programs, goods must usually be a “product of” the
beneficiary country under the legal principle of substantial
transformation or be entirely from that country. They must also usually
meet minimum value content and other standards.
📖 对于优惠计划，商品通常必须是受益国的“产品”，根据实质性转化的法律原则，或完全来自该国。它们通常还需要满足最低价值含量和其他标准。

📖
For FTAs, goods may qualify if they wholly originate in the FTA region,
or by meeting tests based on tariff classification changes, minimum
regional value content, and/or specific processing.
📖 对于自由贸易协议（FTA），如果商品完全来源于FTA区域，或通过满足基于关税分类变化、最低地区价值含量和/或特定加工要求的测试，则商品可能符合条件。

📖

forthcoming lesson, "Special Harmonized Tariff Schedule Provisions."

Section notes, which are legal notes, appear at the beginning of a
section. These notes may apply to all, or a stated portion of, any
section.
📖 章节注释是法律注释，通常出现在章节的开头。这些注释可能适用于整个章节，或某个特定部分。

📖
These notes may dictate the use of particular terms or the meaning of
stated principles in the covered provisions, or they may state which
goods are included in or excluded from the section.
📖 这些注释可能规定特定术语的使用或在所涉及条款中的原则含义，或说明哪些商品包含在该章节内，哪些商品被排除在外。

Section XI Note 7

📖
For example, in Section XI: Textiles and Textile Articles, the term
“made up” as used in reference to textile articles is explained in
section note 7.
📖 例如，在第 XI 部分：纺织品及纺织制品中，章节注释 7 解释了在提及纺织制品时使用的“制作完成”一词的含义。

📖 Using this explanation, headings or subheadings in chapters 50 through 63 that use the term "made up" can be understood.
📖 通过这个解释，可以理解第 50 到 63 章中使用“制作完成”一词的标题或子标题。

🔹 What are Chapters and Chapter Notes? | 什么是章节和章节注释？

📖
HS “chapter notes” are internationally prescribed legal language under
the HS, and thus cannot be deleted or changed unilaterally by HS
participating countries.
📖 HS 的“章节注释”是国际上规定的法律语言，因此参与 HS 的国家不能单方面删除或更改这些注释。

📖 Chapters may also contain “additional U.S. notes” applicable at the HTS 8-digit level.
📖 章节还可能包含适用于 HTS 8 位税号的“额外美国注释”。

HS Chapter Note

📖
In addition, chapters may contain “heading notes” or “subheading notes”
that explain the coverage of an individual 4- or 6-digit HS provision,
or “U.S. subheading notes” applicable at the 8-digit level.
📖 此外，章节可能包含“标题注释”或“子标题注释”，解释个别 4 位或 6 位 HS 规定的适用范围，或适用于 8 位税号的“美国子标题注释”。

🔹Chapters 98 and 99 Notes | 第 98 和第 99 章注释

📖
 In chapters 98 and 99, which are reserved for national use by each
HS-adopting country, the chapter and subchapter notes may establish the
criteria for obtaining the duty treatment in those chapters.
📖 第 98 和第 99 章注释：第 98 和第 99 章为每个 HS 采用国保留使用，章节和子章节注释可能建立获得这些章节关税待遇的标准。

📖
The chapter notes will also explain whether duty rates are applied in
addition to, or in place of, the otherwise applicable rate in chapters
1-97.

🔹 What are U.S. Notes? | 什么是美国注释？

📖
U.S. Notes appear in chapters 98 and 99. These notes are enacted by
Congress or proclaimed by the President. Thus, they have legal status
and must be consulted in classifying goods.
📖 美国注释出现在第 98 和第 99 章。这些注释由国会通过或总统宣布，因此具有法律效力，在商品归类时必须参考。

📖
Like their international counterparts, these notes may explain the
meaning of terms in, or coverage of, the 8-digit U.S. subheadings, but
they cannot expand or narrow the legal meaning and coverage of the
international legal notes.
📖 与国际注释类似，这些注释可以解释 8 位美国子标题中术语的含义或适用范围，但不能扩展或缩小国际法律注释的法律含义和适用范围。

🔹 What are Statistical Notes? | 什么是统计注释？

📖
In addition to the general statistical notes that cover the whole
schedule, section or chapter statistical notes provide definitions of
terms used at the non-legal 10-digit (statistical reporting number)
level or explain how import and export data are to be reported.
📖 除了涵盖整个税则的总统计注释外，章节或部分的统计注释提供了在非法律性质的 10 位（统计报告编号）级别使用的术语定义，或解释进出口数据的报告方式。

📖 In chapters 98 and 99, “double reporting” of data is often required.
📖 在第 98 和第 99 章中，通常要求进行数据的“双重报告”。

📖
This procedure requires the importer to use the “permanent” 10-digit
provision from chapters 1-97 for a product along with the pertinent
8-digit provision from chapter 98 or 99.
📖 此程序要求进口商使用第 1 到第 97 章中的“永久” 10 位税号与第 98 或第 99 章中的相关 8 位税号一起使用。
