Overview

This classification applies to men's or boy's suits made of wool. The key defining characteristic for goods falling under HTS Code 9823.52.03 is their designation as "category 443," as further stipulated by Note 11(a)(i)(B)(I) to this subchapter. This specific category designation is crucial for determining eligibility for preferential treatment under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories to introduce. Its specificity means that the criteria for inclusion are precise, focusing on the garment type (suits), the intended wearer (men or boys), the primary material (wool), and the specific category designation (443) outlined in the USMCA provisions. Unlike broader categories, there are no sibling categories at this exact level to distinguish from, emphasizing the highly targeted nature of this classification.

To accurately classify merchandise under this code, importers must verify that the wool suits are indeed considered "category 443" according to the detailed definitions and requirements provided within Note 11 of the relevant subchapter. This often involves referencing specific production or sourcing requirements outlined in the USMCA agreements to ensure compliance and secure the intended tariff benefits for qualifying wool suits.
