9820.62.12 - Brassieres of subheading 6212.10, under the terms of U.S. note 6(i) to this subchapter and imported directly from Haiti or the Dominican Republic [Compiler's note: The effective period for this heading ended September 30, 2025.]

This HTS subheading, 9820.62.12, specifically designates brassieres that meet the conditions outlined in U.S. note 6(i) to Subchapter XXII, and importantly, must be imported directly from Haiti or the Dominican Republic. This provision relates to special classification provisions and temporary legislation, indicating that its application is time-limited. The items classified here are women's undergarments designed for bust support, made of textile materials.

Unlike broader categories within Chapter 98 that may cover various special provisions or temporary modifications, this subheading is highly specific to a particular type of garment and its origin. Its parent context within Section XXII signifies that these are not standard commercial classifications but rather provisions enacted under specific trade agreements or legislation. Therefore, while other siblings in Chapter 98 might address different temporary import programs or special tariff treatments, 9820.62.12 is exclusively for qualifying brassieres originating from Haiti or the Dominican Republic.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. The classification is determined solely by the product type (brassieres), adherence to U.S. note 6(i), and the direct import origin from Haiti or the Dominican Republic. The key determining factor for classification under this subheading is the fulfillment of all these specific requirements, noting the expiration of its effective period.
