RE: The tariff classification of a man's pullover jacket from
Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Scher:
In your letter dated March 29, 1990, on behalf of your
client Van Baalen Pacific Corp., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style number 0031/300, is a man's
unlined windbreaker-type pullover jacket constructed of
contrasting colored woven 100% nylon fabric inserts.
The garment has a partial front opening at the neck secured
by a zipper and a stand-up collar with a drawstring tightening.
The sleeve cuffs and waistband are elasticized and there are two
front slash pockets at the waist.
The applicable subheading for the pullover will be
6201.93.3510, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other men's anoraks, windbreakers and
similar articles, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be
29.5 percent ad valorem.
The garment falls within textile category designation 634.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are not presently subject to quota restraints but a
visa is required.
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
