RE: The tariff classification of two men's garments from India
Dear Ms. Hurworth:
In your letter dated October 14, 1993, you requested a
classification ruling. Two samples were submitted and are being
returned as you requested.
Style 44-A07 is an unlined, 100% cotton garment. It has a full-front
opening secured by seven large buttons, patch pockets at the waist and in
the left chest area, buttoned sleeve cuffs, a hemmed bottom and a pointed
collar. The garment consists of two front panels sewn vertically and a
single back panel with a yoke. According to your letter the garment is made
from 12.25 ounce fabric.
Style 44-A04 is an unlined, 100% rayon, waist-length jacket with an
elasticized bottom, a full-front zippered opening, slant pockets at the
waist, buttoned cuffs and a pointed collar.
The applicable subheading for style 44-A07 will be 6211.32.0075,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other men's or boys' garments of cotton, jackets and jacket-type garments
excluded from heading 6201. The duty rate will be 8.6% ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for style 44-A04 will be 6201.93.5011, HTS,
which provides for other men's or boys' anoraks, windbreakers and similar
articles, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 29.5% ad valorem.
Styles 44-A07 and 44-A04 fall within textile category designations 334
and 634, respectively. Based upon international textile trade agreements
products of India are subject to quota restraints and 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
