RE: The tariff classification of a boys' knit garment from the
People's Republic of China.
Dear Ms. Rosenberg:
In your letter dated February 28, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of R.H. Macy and Co., Inc.
Style No. 5127-8, is a boys' pullover garment which is con-
structed from 100 percent cotton, finely knit, jersey fabric. The
garment has short hemmed sleeves; a rib knit, crew neckline; a
hemmed bottom; a sewn-on vinyl emblem on the left chest; and
sewn-on ribbon applique encircling the left sleeve. The front and
back panels and the sleeves are each constructed from a single
piece of fabric.
As requested, your sample will be returned.
The applicable subheading for Style No. 5127-8 will be
6109.10.0027, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar
garments, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: men's or boys': other:
other. The duty rate will be 21 percent ad valorem.
Style No. 5127-8 falls within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
People's Republic of China are subject to visa requirements and
quota restraints.
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 sub-
ject 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 (19 C.F.R. 177).
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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
