9822.09.63 - Apparel goods described in U.S. note 41 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS category, 9822.09.63, specifically addresses apparel goods that meet the criteria outlined in U.S. Note 41 to this subchapter. These provisions are generally temporary and relate to specific legislative actions, such as those under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, the goods classified here are not standard commercial apparel but rather items subject to particular import restrictions or special entry procedures dictated by these legislative notes.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. Unlike the broad classifications found in Chapters 01 through 97, which categorize goods based on their inherent physical characteristics, materials, or intended use (e.g., live animals, machinery, textiles), Chapter 98 is reserved for special classification provisions. Therefore, 9822.09.63 is distinct from other categories within Chapter 98 by its specific reference to apparel and U.S. Note 41, signifying a unique set of legal and procedural requirements rather than a product-based definition.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories. Classification under 9822.09.63 hinges entirely on whether an imported apparel item is specifically covered by the provisions of U.S. Note 41. Importers must carefully review the text of this note to determine eligibility, as it will detail the precise conditions, such as type of apparel, origin, or specific trade program, that must be met for classification under this provision.
