Overview
This HTS category, 9822.02.02, provides a special tariff provision for specific imports from Chile. It covers certain fabric goods made from cotton or man-made fibers. The key conditions for classification under this provision are that the goods must be wholly formed in Chile, and their origin of yarn or fiber must meet specific criteria related to production or sourcing outside of Chile or the United States. This provision is subject to an aggregate annual quantity limitation of 1,000,000 SME (Small and Medium Enterprises).
Distinguishing this category from its sibling categories within Section XXII is crucial. While other sibling categories might represent different types of temporary legislation, trade agreement provisions, or specific import restrictions under Section 22, 9822.02.02 is exclusively for qualifying textile goods from Chile under specific conditions. Unlike goods classified under Chapters 01-97, which focus on the inherent nature and composition of merchandise, this chapter and specifically this code, are designed to manage the trade flow of particular goods based on their origin, manufacturing process, and quantity.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9822.02.02 is definitive once the specified conditions regarding the country of origin for yarn and fiber, the place of formation, and the aggregate annual quantity are met. Importers must carefully review U.S. Note 4 to this subchapter to precisely determine if their cotton or man-made fiber fabric goods qualify for this preferential treatment.
