RE: The tariff classification of a men's or boys' pullover jacket
from Sri Lanka
Dear Mr. Goldin:
In your letter dated April 7, 1993, which we received on May
10, you requested a classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style G3641 for men and G4641 for boys,
is made from a woven twill fabric stated to be a 55% ramie/45%
cotton blend. It is unlined in the body but has a flannel lining in
the hood. It is a pullover style with a zipper closure. Other
features include a self-fabric hood, long sleeves without cuffs,
side seam pockets at the waist and a drawstring
tightening with lock cords at the bottom hem. The length of the men's
garment is approximately thirty-one inches.
The applicable subheading for the pullover jacket will be
6201.99.0061, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other men's or boys' anoraks, windbreakers and similar
articles of other textile materials. The duty rate will be 4.5% ad valorem.
This jacket falls within textile category designation 834. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Sri Lanka are subject to
the requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories 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
