9822.08.25 - Textile or apparel goods of Colombia described in U.S. note 33 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 9822.08.25, pertains to specific textile and apparel goods originating from Colombia. These items are eligible for special treatment under U.S. Note 33 to this subchapter, meaning they must be entered in accordance with the provisions outlined in that note to qualify for this classification. The purpose of this category is to facilitate trade under specific bilateral agreements or legislative provisions.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings within Chapter 98 (Special classification provisions) is crucial. While many sibling categories in Chapter 98 offer preferential treatment or outline specific entry requirements for various goods, 9822.08.25 is narrowly focused on textile and apparel products from Colombia. Unlike the first five chapters of the HTS, which classify goods based on their intrinsic nature (e.g., live animals), Chapter 98 codes are procedural and contingent upon specific trade agreements, special circumstances, or temporary legislative actions.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9822.08.25 is definitive once the goods are identified as textile or apparel products from Colombia and meet all the requirements stipulated in U.S. Note 33. Importers should carefully consult U.S. Note 33 for detailed criteria regarding eligibility, documentation, and any quantity limitations that may apply to these specific Colombian imports.
