The importer is required to identify such certified products on the entry summary or withdrawal forms by placing the symbol "F" as a prefix to the appropriate 10-digit statistical reporting number.
  • 2. For the purposes of the Tariff Schedule:
    • (a) The term "subject to cotton restraints" means articles in which:
      • (i) The cotton component equals or exceeds 50 percent by weight of all the component fibers thereof; or
      • (ii) The cotton and any wool, fine animal hair or man-made fibers in the aggregate equals or exceeds 50 percent by weight of all the component fibers thereof and the cotton component equals or exceeds the weight of each of the wool (including fine animal hair) and man-made fiber components.
    • (b) The term "subject to wool restraints" means articles not provided for in (a) above and in which the wool (including fine animal hair) component exceeds 17 percent by weight of all the component fibers thereof.

  • 3. As a convenient cross-reference, each of the textile categories (or groupings) used by the United States in monitoring shipments of these products and to administer the United States textile trade agreements programs is listed in the schedule following the appropriate 10-digit description.
  • 4. Entries of all textile and apparel products that are both (a) imported from Canada or from Mexico and (b) described in additional U.S. notes 3 (other than subdivision (c)), 4 and 5 to section XI must contain (i) the appropriate 10-digit statistical reporting number from and units of quantity specified in section XI for such goods, and (ii) the correct 8-digit special statistical reporting number applicable to such goods and the square meter equivalent of the goods being entered, determined in accordance with such additional U.S. notes. The special statistical reporting numbers are set forth at the end of chapter 99 of this schedule. For goods described in subdivision (c) of additional U.S. note 3, see heading 9802.00.80.
