RE: The tariff classification of boys' boxer shorts from Sri
Lanka.
Dear Ms. Hatcher:
In your letter dated June 4, 1993, you requested a
classification ruling. As requested the samples will be returned
to you.
Your first style 212615, is a pair of woven 100% cotton boys'
underwear boxer shorts. The garment features a one snap fly front,
hemmed legs and an exposed elasticized waistband.
Your second style 212616, is a pair of woven 100% cotton
flannel boys' underwear boxer shorts. The garment features a one
snap fly front, hemmed legs and an exposed elasticized waistband.
Both styles will be sized XXS-XXL.
The applicable subheading for styles 212615 and 212616 will
be 6207.11.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' singlets and undershirts,
underpants, briefs,... and similar articles: underpants and briefs:
of cotton. The duty rate will be 6.5 percent ad valorem.
Styles 212615 and 212616 fall within textile category
designation 352. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Sri Lanka are subject to quota restraints
and visa requirements.
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 (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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
