RE: The tariff classification of a man's jacket from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Wegener:
In your letter dated July 25, 1990, which was resubmitted on
August 23, 1990, you requested a tariff classification ruling on
behalf of Roytex Inc.
Style No. 71323 is a man's short sleeved jacket which is
constructed from 65 percent polyester, 35 percent cotton, French
terry fabric. The garment features a full front, heavy duty zipper
opening; a rib knit baseball collar; dolman sleeves; slant opening
pockets at the waist; sewn on rib knit cuffs; a sewn on rib knit
waistband; and a screen printed logo of a sailboat applied to the
left chest. The garment has woven portions which consist of two
and one half inch wide woven inserts, separated by a one inch wide
knit insert, extending across the front chest; and a woven insert,
measuring approximately six inches wide, extending across the
back .
As requested, your sample will be returned.
The applicable subheading for Style No. 71323 will be
6101.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: Men's or boy's overcoats, carcoats,
capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and
similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading
6103: of man-made fibers: other: other: men's. The duty rate will
be 30 percent ad valorem.
Style No. 71323 falls within textile category designation 634.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Taiwan are subject to visa requirements and quota 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 sub-
ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
New York Seaport
