RE: The tariff classification of a man's hooded, woven pullover
from India.
Dear Mr. Paul:
In your letter dated April 14, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style No. 5039 is a man's long sleeved pullover which has no
opening at the neck. It is constructed from a 100 percent cotton,
woven fabric. The sample has a hood with a tunneled drawstring; a
handwarmer pocket with vertical openings at the sides; a straight
bottom with a tunneled drawstring; and rib knit cuffs.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6211.32.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: track suits, ski-suits and swimwear;
other garments: other garments, men's or boys': of cotton: shirts
excluded from heading 6205. The duty rate will be 8.6 percent ad
valorem.
The sample falls within textile category designation 340.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of India
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 inter- national 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 (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
