RE: The tariff classification of a lady's knitted garment, style
S/6200, from Korea.
Dear Mr. Baird:
In your letter dated July 23, 1990, on behalf of Golden
Touch Imports, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted garment is manufactured from jersey fabric of
65% polyester/35% cotton, measuring ten stitches or more per
centimeter in either direction.
Styling characteristics of this unlined garment, which
extends below the hips, include a full-front, buttoned opening, a
wide neckline and a wide collar, and front pockets below the
waist and at the chest. Rib-knitted portions consist of the
waistband and of the cuffs of the long sleeves.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for woman's other sweaters...and similar
articles, knitted...of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be
34.2 percent ad valorem.
The garment falls within textile category designation 639.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Korea 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
