RE: The tariff classification of a pair of women's knit trousers
from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Merrill:
In your letter dated November 26, 1990, received by this
office on December 4, 1990 on behalf of Tamara Imports, you
requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style #1436-21, is a pair of women's
knit trousers constructed from a 65% polyester/35% cotton fabric.
The garment extends to the mid calf area and features an elastic
waistband and two on seam side pockets. The leg separation is
apparent when the garment is viewed from the front.
The garment is being returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for style #1436-21 will be
6104.63.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit trousers of synthetic
fibers other. The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.
Style #1436-21 falls within textile category designation
648. 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 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
