RE: The tariff classification of a woman's cotton knit oversize t-shirt from El Salvador

Dear Mr. Charania:

In your letter dated August 29, 1994, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Tru-Trade International, Inc.

The submitted samples, styles 8816 and 5921, are women's 100% cotton, jersey knit, oversize shirts with crew neck, short sleeves and a hemmed bottom. The samples are being returned to you.

The applicable subheading for the garments is 6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated, which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: women's or girls'. The rate of duty will be 20.7% ad valorem.

The garment falls within textile category designation 339. As a product of El Salvador, this merchandise is not subject to quota or visa requirements at this time.

The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes, to obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Thomas Mattina
Area Director,
