RE: The tariff classification of four men's pullover jackets
from Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Guerrero:
In your letter dated August 24, 1990, on behalf of Newport
Blue, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Four samples were submitted as follows: Style numbers
145147 and 145157 are two men's windbreaker-type pullover jackets
composed of contrasting colored fabric inserts constructed of a
woven 100% cotton poplin fabric. Style numbers 145773 and 145783
are two men's windbreaker-type pullover jackets composed of
contrasting colored fabric inserts constructed of a woven 100%
nylon taslon fabric.
Each of the jackets has a partial opening at the neck. On
style 145147 the opening is secured by four snaps. On style
145157 the opening has a three button closure. On styles 145773
and 145783 the opening is secured by a zipper. Each of the
jackets has two front pockets at the waist. Style 145773 has
elasticized sleeve cuffs and waistband. Styles 145157 and 145783
feature a ribbed knit fabric collar, cuffs and waistband. Style
145147 features ribbed-knit fabric cuffs and waistband, a left
chest pocket with a snap flap and the trade name "NEWPORT BLUE"
embroidered on the left chest. Style 145157 features the trade
name "NEWPORT BLUE" embroidered along the length of the left
sleeve.
The applicable subheading for styles 145147 and 145157 will
be 6201.92.2050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other men's anoraks, windbreakers and
similar articles, of cotton. The rate of duty will be 10 percent
ad valorem. -2-
The applicable subheading for styles 145773 and 145783 will be
6201.93.3510, HTS, which provides for other men's anoraks, wind-
breakers and similar articles, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty
will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.
Styles 145147 and 145157 fall within textile category designation
334. Styles 145773 and 145783 fall 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
Area Director
New York Seaport
