9822.09.61 - Textile and apparel goods of chapters 61 through 63 described in U.S. note 39 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 9822.09.61, pertains to specific textile and apparel goods that are subject to special classification provisions. Its scope is defined by U.S. Note 39 to this subchapter, indicating that only items meeting the criteria outlined in that note and entered under its provisions are classified here. The goods typically involve textiles and articles of apparel falling within Chapters 61 through 63 of the HTS.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, which often represent primary agricultural or manufactured goods, is crucial. Unlike direct classifications of raw materials or finished products based on material composition or function, 9822.09.61 acts as a conduit for goods that, while potentially classifiable elsewhere, are directed to this provision due to specific trade agreement or temporary legislation mandates. Therefore, its application is dependent on meeting the stipulated conditions of U.S. Note 39.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9822.09.61 is final for eligible goods. The primary classification criteria will therefore revolve around the specific terms and conditions stipulated within U.S. Note 39, ensuring that the imported textile and apparel goods are indeed the subject of and entered pursuant to the specific provisions referenced. Importers must meticulously review this note to confirm eligibility for this special classification.
