SUBCHAPTER XVII MODIFICATIONS ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO THE UNITED STATES-PERU TRADE PROMOTION AGREEMENT XXII 99-XVII-1 U.S. Notes 1. This subchapter contains modifications of the provisions of the tariff schedule established pursuant to the United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement. Goods of Peru, entered under the terms of general note 32 to the tariff schedule, and described in subheadings 9917.04.10 through 9917.04.69 of this subchapter for which a rate of duty followed by the symbol "(PE)" is herein provided, are subject to duty at the rate set forth in this subchapter in lieu of the rate provided therefore in chapters 1 through 97. For purposes of this subchapter, notwithstanding any other provisions of the tariff schedule, the term "goods of Peru, under the terms of general note 32 to the tariff schedule" means goods of Peru that satisfy the requirements of general note 32 to the tariff schedule, except that operations performed in, or material obtained from, the United States shall be considered as if the operations were performed in, and the material was obtained from, a country that is not a party to the Agreement as defined in general note 32 to the tariff schedule. Such goods of Peru entered into the United States under the provisions of subheadings 9917.04.10 through 9917.04.69 are not subject to any of the provisions, duties or limitations of subchapter IV of chapter 99 of the tariff schedule. Unless otherwise provided, U.S. notes3 through 5 and subheadings 9917.04.10 through 9917.04.69 of this subchapter are effective as to such goods of Peru entered, under general note 32 to the tariff schedule, through the close of December 31, 2025 and shall be deleted from the tariff schedule at the close of such date. [Compiler's note:The provisions of this subchapter have expired but will be retained in the HTS through the close of December 31, 2026, to facilitate Customs processing of entries.] 2. Whenever goods are classifiable under a provision for which the modification of the applicable United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement rate of duty is provided for in a subheading in this subchapter, the reporting number, in the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, shall be the appropriate statistical reporting number for the basic provision (the appropriate provision for classification purposes in chapters 1 through 97) preceded by the subheading number of this subchapter.
