9823.52.02 - Wool apparel as provided in note 11(a)(i)(B) to this subchapter

This HTS category, 9823.52.02, specifically covers wool apparel that meets the requirements outlined in note 11(a)(i)(B) to this subchapter. This provision falls under the broader scope of goods imported from Canada that are eligible for special classification under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The emphasis on "wool apparel" as defined by this particular note distinguishes it from other apparel categories within the USMCA provisions.

Unlike the sibling category 9823.52.01, which addresses cotton or man-made fiber apparel, this classification is exclusively for items manufactured from wool. The precise definition and eligibility criteria for "wool apparel" under note 11(a)(i)(B) are critical for correct classification, often relating to specific manufacturing processes or origin requirements within the USMCA framework.

The subcategories within 9823.52.02 further refine the classification of wool apparel. For instance, 9823.52.03 pertains specifically to men's or boy's wool suits that fall within category 443. These subdivisions allow for a more granular classification based on factors such as the type of garment, gender and age group of the intended wearer, and potentially specific category designations within the USMCA apparel rules.
