RE: The tariff classification of a man's T-shirt from Singapore.
Dear Mr. Stack:
In your letter dated September 14, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of Liz Claiborne, Inc.
Style No. 846485, is a man's T-shirt which is constructed
from 100 percent cotton, lightweight, finely knit, jersey fabric.
The garment features a rib knit, crew neckline; short hemmed
sleeves; and a hemmed bottom.
The applicable subheading for Style No. 846485 will be
6109.10.0012, 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 T-shirts: men's. The duty rate will be 21 percent ad
valorem.
Style No. 846485 falls within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Singapore 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
