RE: The tariff classification of a pair of ladies' knitted
trousers, style A0425NA, from Turkey.
Dear Mr. Wortman:
In your letter dated October 25, 1990, on behalf of Orit
Imports, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
This garment is manufactured from jersey fabric of 95%
cotton/5% spandex. A bib portion rises approximately three and
one-half inches above the pleated waistline. There are stirrups
and front pockets.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6104.62.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's other trousers and breeches of
cotton, knitted. The rate of duty will be 16.7 per cent ad
valorem.
The trousers fall within textile category designation 348.
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
