The quantities of goods of subheadings 1701.12.50, 1701.13.50, 1701.14.50, 1701.91.30, 1701.99.50, 1702.90.20 and 2106.90.46 that are entered under subheading 9822.05.20 shall be determined on a raw-value equivalent basis. For purposes of this note, the term "raw value" means the equivalent of such articles in terms of ordinary commercial raw sugar testing 96 degrees by the polariscope as determined in accordance with regulations or instructions issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Such regulations or instructions may, among other things, provide: (i) for the entry of such articles pending a final determination of polarity; and (ii) that positive or negative adjustments for differences in preliminary and final raw values be made in the same or succeeding quota periods. The principal grades and types of sugar shall be translated into terms of raw value in the following manner--
(A) For articles described in subheadings 1701.12.50, 1701.13.50, 1701.14.50, 1701.91.30, 1701.99.50 and 2106.90.46 by multiplying the number of kilograms thereof by the greater of 0.93, or 1.07 less 0.0175 for each degree of polarization under 100 degrees (and fractions of a degree in proportion).
(B) For articles described in subheading 1702.90.20, by multiplying the number of kilograms of the total sugars thereof (the sum of the sucrose and reducing or invert sugars) by 1.07.
26. The tariff treatment provided for in heading 9822.05.25 is limited to goods that have been mutually agreed by a party to the Agreement as defined in general note 29(a) and by CITA to fall within the following:
(a) hand-loomed fabrics of a cottage industry;
(b) hand-made cottage industry goods made of such hand-loomed fabrics; or
(c) traditional folklore handicraft goods.
Such goods must be certified as eligible products of such party by the competent authority of such party, in accordance with any requirements established by CITA.
27. Earned import allowance program.
(a) For purposes of heading 9822.06.05, eligible apparel articles wholly assembled in and imported directly from the Dominican Republic shall enter the United States free of duty, without regard to the source of the fabric or yarns from which the articles are made, if such apparel articles are accompanied by an earned import allowance certificate that reflect the amount of credits equal to the total square meter equivalents (SMEs) of fabric in such apparel articles, in accordance with the earned import allowance program established by the Secretary of Commerce. For purposes of determining the quantity of SMEs under this note, the conversion factors listed in "Correlation: U.S. Textile and Apparel Industry Category System with the Harmonized Tariff Schedule fo the United States of America, 2008" or its successor publications, of the United States Department of Commerce shall apply.
(b) For purposes of subdivision (a) of this note, the term "eligible apparel articles" means the following articles classified in chapter 62 of the tariff schedule (and meeting the requirements of the rules relating to chapter 62 of the tariff schedule contained in general note 29(n) of such schedule) of cotton (but not of denim): trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, skirts and divided skirts and pants.
28. 
(a) 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. 
(b) The United States Trade Representative (USTR) may promulgate regulations to provide for the entry of goods of Peru under subheading 9822.06.10. Such USTR regulations may, among other things, provide for the issuance of certificates of eligibility to accompany goods of Peru imported under such subheading.
(c) Beginning in 2009 and in successive years thereafter, the Office of the United States Trade Representative shall publish in the Federal Register a determination for that calendar year, using the most recent annual data available, of the amount of the trade surplus (the amount by which Peru's exports to all destinations exceeds its imports from all sources), by volume, for goods of Peru under the terms of general note 32 to the tariff schedule, that are classified in the following subheadings: 
 1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14, 1701.91, 1701.99, 1702.40 and 1702.60,
except that Peru's exports to the United States of goods classified under subheadings 1701.12, 1701.13, 1701.14, 1701.12, 1701.91 and 1701.99 and its imports of originating goods of the United States classified under subheadings 1702.40 and 1702.60 shall not be included in the calculation of Peru's trade surplus.
(d) The aggregate quantity of goods of Peru under the terms of general note 32 to the tariff schedule that may be entered under subheading 9822.06.10 in any calendar year set forth herein shall be the quantity of goods equal to the lesser of the amount of Peru's trade surplus determined under subdivision (c) of this note or the aggregate quantity of goods specified below for Peru for that year.

38. For purposes of subheading 9822.09.20, the aggregate quantity of specialty sugars as provided for in additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 17 that are originating goods of Panama and entered under such subheading shall not exceed 500 metric tons in any year. The United States may administer the duty-free quantities established in this note through regulations, including licenses.
39. For a textile or apparel good provided for in chapters 61 through 63 of the tariff schedule that is not an originating good under general note 35 to the tariff schedule and for which the duty treatment set forth in heading 9822.09.61 is claimed, the rate of duty set forth in the general subcolumn of rate of duty column 1 shall apply only on the value of the assembled good minus the value of fabrics formed in the United States, components knit-to-shape in the United States and any other materials of U.S. origin used in the production of such a good, provided that the good is sewn or otherwise assembled in the territory of Panama from thread wholly formed in the United States, from fabrics wholly formed in the United States and cut in Panama or from components knit-to-shape in the United States, or both. For purposes of this note--
