RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s jumper from China
Dear Ms. Chow:
In your letter dated September 30, 2008, you requested a classification ruling. Your sample will be returned as requested.
Style TKY6D538 is a woman’s jumper constructed from 100 percent polyester woven fabric. The garment features long sleeves that are open from the shoulders to the elasticized wrists, a boat neck, a back opening that is secured at the neck with button and loop closures and extends from the neck to three inches below the waist and a banded bottom. The garment does not provide sufficient coverage for wear without another outerwear garment because of the deep back opening.
The applicable subheading for style TKY6D538 will be 6211.43.0066, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments, women’s or girls’: of man-made fibers: jumpers: other. The duty rate will be 16 percent ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
Style TKY6D538 falls within textile category 659. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.
