RE: The tariff classification of men's pullovers from Hong Kong
and the People's Republic of China.
Dear Ms. Snider:
In your letter dated April 26, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of MovieStar (USA) and ACA JOE.
Style 1011 is a man's pullover which is constructed from 100
percent cotton, heavy weight, jersey fabric containing 25 stitches
per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment
features a rib knit crew neckline; dropped shoulders; short, loose
fitting sleeves with hemmed edges; and a straight, hemmed bottom.
A screen printed logo is located on the left chest.
Style 1101 is a man's pullover which is constructed from 100
percent cotton, heavy weight, jersey fabric containing 22 stitches
per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment
features a rib knit crew neckline; dropped shoulders; short, loose
fitting sleeves with hemmed edges; and a straight, hemmed bottom.
A screen printed design is located on the center chest.
As requested, your samples will be returned.
The applicable subheading for both styles will be
6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts,
waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of
cotton: other: other: other: men's or boys'. The duty rate will be
20.7 percent ad valorem.
The garments fall within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong
Kong are subject to a visa requirement and products of the
People's Republic of China are subject to a visa requirement 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
