RE: The tariff classification of a lady's cotton jersey shirt, style
4602, from Turkey.
Dear Mr. Sullivan:
In your letter dated June 6, 1990, on behalf of Big M/Mandee
Shops, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Characteristics of this finely knit, unlined garment include long
sleeves, a full-front, buttoned opening, a V-neck, and shoulder pads.
An elasticized waistband is inserted around the back and fronts of the
garment.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be 6106.10.0010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's knitted...shirts, of cotton. The rate of duty will be 21
percent ad valorem.
The shirt falls within textile category designation 339. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Turkey are
subject to quota restraints and 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 (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
