9822.06.25 - Textile or apparel goods of Peru described in U.S. note 30 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 9822.06.25, specifically covers textile or apparel goods that originate from Peru. To qualify for this provision, these goods must also meet the criteria outlined in U.S. Note 30 to this subchapter and be entered in accordance with its stipulations. This means that not all textile or apparel items from Peru will fall under this code; they must specifically satisfy the conditions detailed in the aforementioned U.S. note.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. Unlike the broad product categories found in Chapters 1 through 97 of the HTSUS, which classify goods based on their inherent physical characteristics, materials, and intended use (e.g., live animals, chemicals, machinery), HTS Chapter 98 is reserved for special classification provisions. This specific node, 9822.06.25, is a testament to a trade agreement provision granting special treatment to certain Peruvian textile and apparel goods, rather than a classification based on the intrinsic nature of the goods themselves.

As a leaf node, 9822.06.25 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code depends entirely on meeting the requirements of U.S. Note 30 and fulfilling the entry conditions for Peruvian textile and apparel goods. Importers must carefully review the specific terms of U.S. Note 30, which typically define eligibility based on factors such as origin, manufacturing processes, or quantities, to ensure correct classification and benefit from any preferential treatment offered.
