Overview
This classification, HTS Code 5202.99.10.00, specifically covers cotton waste, encompassing yarn waste and garnetted stock, that is further defined by additional U.S. note 9 to Chapter 52. This note provides specific criteria and conditions under which certain cotton waste products are eligible for entry and classification within this provision. The products here are generally materials derived from the processing of cotton, which are not suitable for use in their current form but retain the essential characteristics of cotton.
This category is distinct from its sibling, 5202.99.05.00, which covers cotton waste entered under the provisions of general note 15 of the tariff schedule. While both relate to cotton waste, the key differentiator lies in the specific legal basis for their entry, with 5202.99.10.00 referencing a note within Chapter 52 itself, indicating potentially different regulatory or functional considerations. The other sibling, 5202.99.30.00, is a more general "other" category for cotton waste not meeting the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under 5202.99.10.00 is on meeting the requirements stipulated in additional U.S. note 9 to Chapter 52, in addition to fitting the broader definition of cotton waste. This often involves examining the physical form, processing stage, and intended repurposing of the cotton material to ensure it aligns with the specific conditions outlined in that note for classification.
