RE: The tariff classification of a boy's shirt from Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Irish:
In your letter dated August 28, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, Style #91094172 is a boy's woven
shirt. The garment is constructed of 100% cotton fabric and
features a collar, long sleeves with a button closure, a full
front opening with a five button closure which fastens left over
right and a hemmed bottom.
You state in your letter that Style #91094172 will be
imported in boys' sizes 2-7.
We are returning your sample as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the shirt, Style #91094172,
will be 6205.20.2060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for men's or boys' shirts, of
cotton, other, other, other, boys', other. The rate of duty will
be 20.5% ad valorem. The shirt, Style #91094172 falls within textile category
designation 340. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Hong Kong are presently subject to quota
restraints and visa requirements.
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 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 Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Bruce
Kirschner at 212-466-5865.
Sincerely,
