RE: The tariff classification of a man's jacket from Macau
Dear Ms. Johnson:
In your letter dated November 28, 1990, you requested a
classification ruling.
The sample submitted, Woolrich style number 4089, is a man's
upper-thigh length safari-type jacket. The jacket is constructed of a
woven 100% cotton fabric.
The garment has a full front opening secured by seven buttons, a
shirt-type collar and two shoulder epaulets. There are two front
double entry pockets with buttoned flaps located below the waist, an
inner drawstring with elastic gathering at the waist and two pockets
with buttoned flaps on the chest. Each sleeve has an opening above the
cuff extending seven inches up the sleeve. The opening is secured by a
button closure on the cuff and a button closure on the sleeve. An
inner self-fabric buttoned sleeve tab can be used to secure the sleeve
when rolled- up. On the back of the jacket there is a vertical pleat
down the center.
The applicable subheading for the jacket 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 duty rate will be 10 percent ad valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 334. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of Macau are
presently subject to quota restraints and the requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories 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
