RE: The tariff classification of a woman's blouse from Hong
Kong.
Dear Ms. Rice:
In your letter dated May 8, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style number 58752, is a woman's
hooded, pullover blouse which is cut and sewn from yarn-dyed,
woven fabric composed of 100 percent cotton. The hood contains a
tunnel drawstring, which can be tied into a bow at the base of
the neck if so desired. The blouse also has long sleeves without
cuffs, vented sideseams, a topstitched rear pleat, and a tailed
bottom. The sample is being returned under separate cover.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6206.30.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's blouses, shirts and shirt-
blouses of cotton, with two or more colors in the warp and/or the
filling. The rate of duty will be 16.4 percent ad valorem.
The garment falls within textile category designation 341.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to a visa requirement.
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 (Restraints 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
