RE: The tariff classification of thermal ski-glove liners from Taiwan
Dear Ms. Heitmeyer:
In your letter dated January 11, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Two samples of knitted ski glove liners have been submitted.
Item JB6795M is a men's glove and item JB6795L is a ladies glove.
The gloves are identical except for size. The gloves are
composed of a blend of 40% polyester, 30% metalized yarns, 20%
nylon and 10% cotton. The gloves are designed with fourchettes
and feature knit cuffs. The gloves have thermal properties and
as stated in your letter the gloves will be used as ski glove
liners. The glove liners are similar in all material respects to
liners previously held to show design for use in alpine skiing.
The applicable subheading for both style gloves will be
6116.93.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted, other, of synthetic fibers, ski or snowmobile gloves,
mittens and mitts. The rate of duty will be 5.5 percent ad
valorem.
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
