CBP's notice lists the related HTS Chapters 4 and 99 tariff numbers.

Products from Mexico are not permitted or included in this TRQ and should not be classified using the in-quota HTS numbers.

For the purpose of administering TRQs containing a minimum access quantity for a specific country, imports entered from that country under the low tier tariff will first be applied to the minimum access quantity for that country until it is filled. When that quantity has filled, subsequent imports may be applied to the balance of the remaining quota.

Entries from Canada, Mexico, Jordan, Singapore, Chile, Australia, Morocco, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Bahrain, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Peru, and Oman are not subject to additional agricultural safeguard duties under HTS heading 9904, and should be presented as a type 02 entry using the high rate (over-quota) tariff number provided for in HTS Chapter 4 without the HTS Chapter 99 tariff number. Such entries must be reported through the quota module of ACS.
