Overview
This HTS category, 9820.61.25, encompasses specific apparel articles that meet certain criteria outlined in U.S. note 6(c) to this subchapter. These goods must be imported directly from Haiti or the Dominican Republic within a designated 1-year period, as defined by U.S. note 6(b)(ii). Furthermore, the importation is subject to limitations specified in U.S. note 6(g)(i), indicating that not all apparel meeting the origin and timing requirements may qualify. This special provision is part of a broader framework aimed at promoting trade with specific countries.
While the Harmonized Tariff Schedule contains numerous categories for apparel based on material, construction, and function, this particular HTS code is distinguished by its origin, import timing, and a specific set of qualifying conditions tied to U.S. trade notes. Unlike general apparel classifications, eligibility under 9820.61.25 hinges on fulfilling the detailed requirements set forth in the referenced U.S. notes, which often relate to trade agreements, preferential treatment, or specific economic development initiatives. This code therefore acts as a specialized pathway for certain apparel imports, distinct from standard duty calculations applicable to apparel from other sources or under different trade programs.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this specific classification. The entire scope of this provision is contained within the description provided, with further detailed eligibility and limitations to be found by consulting the referenced U.S. notes. Classification under this code necessitates a thorough review of the apparel article's origin, the directness of its shipment from Haiti or the Dominican Republic, and adherence to the specified temporal and quantitative restrictions.
