9902.12.77 - Yarn of carded camel hair (provided for in subheading 5108.10.80)

This HTS category, 9902.12.77, specifically designates yarn composed of carded camel hair. This provision falls under Section XXII, which covers special classification provisions, temporary legislation, and additional import restrictions. While the primary description points to the commodity itself, the inclusion of "(provided for in subheading 5108.10.80)" signifies that this is a temporary or specially regulated classification for this particular type of yarn. The use of the Chapter 99 designation indicates it is subject to specific trade agreements or legislative measures.

Given its placement within Chapter 99, this category is distinct from the broader HTS categories that begin with a numerical prefix (e.g., 0101 for live animals). Unlike typical commodity chapters that classify goods based on their inherent nature and primary function, Chapter 99 often introduces temporary duties, quotas, or specific restrictions that modify the standard tariff treatment for certain goods. Therefore, while subheadings like 5108.10.80 would normally classify camel hair yarn, the 9902.12.77 designation signifies a special, likely temporary, import provision.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.12.77. This indicates that the specific import rules or classifications prescribed under this provision apply directly to all yarn of carded camel hair that meets the criteria for this special classification. Importers should note that the existence of this separate subheading suggests that this particular camel hair yarn may be subject to different duties, quotas, or reporting requirements than if it were classified under its standard HTS subheading.
