9822.09.62 - Textile and apparel goods of chapters 61 through 63 described in U.S. note 40 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 9822.09.62, pertains to specific textile and apparel goods that are subject to special classification provisions under U.S. note 40 to this subchapter. It encompasses items from chapters 61 through 63 of the HTS that meet the criteria outlined in that particular U.S. note and are entered into the United States under its stipulated provisions. These provisions often relate to temporary legislative actions, trade agreement modifications, or additional import restrictions.

Unlike the primary chapters of the HTS that classify goods based on their inherent nature, material, or manufacturing process (such as live animals listed in the sibling categories), this classification is driven by the specific regulatory treatment applied to certain textiles and apparel. The goods themselves would otherwise fall within Chapters 61, 62, or 63, but their entry under 9822.09.62 is contingent on meeting the conditions of U.S. note 40. This distinction is crucial for determining applicable duties, quotas, and other entry requirements.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 9822.09.62 requires a thorough understanding of the specific conditions and limitations detailed in U.S. note 40. Importers must ensure that the textile and apparel goods in question precisely match the description and eligibility criteria outlined in that note to correctly utilize this special classification provision.
