9822.09.70 - Textile or apparel goods of Panama described in U.S. note 43 to this subchapter and entered pursuant to its provisions

This HTS classification, 9822.09.70, pertains to specific textile or apparel goods originating from Panama. Its coverage is narrowly defined by U.S. Note 43 to this subchapter, indicating that these goods must meet particular criteria and be entered in accordance with the provisions outlined in that note. This special classification provision allows for preferential treatment or specific entry requirements for qualifying Panamanian textile and apparel products.

Unlike the broad product categories found in earlier chapters of the HTS (such as live animals or agricultural products), this node falls under Section XXII, which deals with special classification provisions and temporary legislation. Therefore, its distinction lies not in the physical nature of the goods themselves, but in their origin (Panama), their classification as textile or apparel items, and their adherence to the specific conditions stipulated in U.S. Note 43. This note likely details specific quotas, duty rates, or other trade agreement-related requirements that differentiate these goods from similar items not meeting those exact parameters.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9822.09.70. Classification under this code requires a thorough review of U.S. Note 43 to Subchapter XXII to ensure all conditions for entry are met. This would typically involve verifying the origin of the textile or apparel goods and confirming they are entered according to the precise provisions outlined in the relevant trade agreement or legislation.
