RE: The tariff classification of a knitted cotton car seat cover
from China.
Dear Ms. Andriuzzo:
In your letter dated October 26, 1994, on behalf of your
client Pam & Frank (USA) Industrial Co., Ltd., you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample is identified as a t-shirt car seat
cover. It is composed of a 100 percent bleached knitted cotton
fabric. This article has an opening at the top with a string on
each side and on each corner of the bottom that can be utilized
for securing the cover to a car seat. The front contains a
pictorial design and the words "Ski Maniac" printed thereon.
The applicable subheading for the knitted car seat cover
will be 6304.91.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other furnishing articles,
excluding those of heading 9404, other, knitted or crocheted.
The duty rate will be 11.5 percent ad valorem.
The car seat cover falls within textile category designation
369. Based upon international textile trade agreements products
of China are subject to quota 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
