RE: The tariff classification of a woman's garment from Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Maher:
In your letter dated March 29, 1990, on behalf of your client,
Daniel Caron, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Sample is
herewith being returned.
The submitted sample is a woman's knitted cardigan-like garment,
style number 3100 XTM, which is stated to be composed of 55 percent
polyester and 45 percent cotton and noted to be constructed with a
finely knit fabric possessing more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters
in the horizontal direction. The garment has a five button full
frontal opening, a deep V-neckline, long sleeves, a napped interior,
two front pockets situated below the waist and ribbing at the sleeve
cuffs and bottom.
The applicable subheading for the above-stated garment will be
6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats
(vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made
fibers, other, other, women's or girls'. The rate of duty will be
34.2 percent ad valorem.
Tariff item number 6110.30.3055 falls within textile category
designation 639. Based upon international textile trade agreements,
products of Hong Kong are currently subject to visa restraints.
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 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
