9822.01.25 - Apparel goods described in U.S. note 2 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provision

HTS Code 9822.01.25 covers specific apparel goods that qualify for special entry provisions under U.S. Note 2 to this subchapter. These goods are subject to particular legislative or trade agreement conditions that allow for their entry under this designated provision, rather than standard chapter classifications. The key characteristic for classification under this heading is adherence to the specific requirements outlined in U.S. Note 2, which often relates to quotas, trade agreements, or other temporary measures impacting certain apparel imports.

This category is distinct from the general product-based classifications found in Chapters 1-97 of the HTS. Unlike sibling categories that classify goods based on their inherent physical characteristics, materials, or primary function (e.g., live animals, machinery, chemicals), 9822.01.25 is a procedural or exceptional classification. Its scope is determined by the specific legal framework of U.S. Note 2, not by the nature of the apparel itself. Therefore, while the goods might physically be garments, their import status dictates their placement here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 9822.01.25 is absolute once the conditions of U.S. Note 2 are met. Importers must meticulously review the provisions of U.S. Note 2 to determine eligibility. Failure to meet these specific requirements would necessitate classification under a different, more traditional HTS chapter based on the apparel's material composition, construction, and intended use.
