RE: The tariff classification of a pair of woman's pants and a
belt from Indonesia.
Dear Ms. Kotchka:
In your letter dated October 12, 1993, you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style SU-122, is a pair of woman's woven
pants manufactured from a 100% cotton fabric and a loosely woven
belt constructed from jute. The pants feature two side seam
pockets, a wide elasticized waistband and fabric belt loops. The
pants and the belt are considered a set, and the pants provide the
essential character.
The sample is being returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for style number SU-122 will be
6204.62.4020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit pants of cotton....other.
The rate of duty for style SU-122 will be 17.7 percent ad valorem.
Because style SU-122 is considered a set, the pants and the
belt take separate quota categories. The pants of style SU-122
falls within textile category designation 348. The belt of style
SU-122 falls within textile category designation 859, based on HTS
subheading 6217.10.0050. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Indonesia 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
