RE: The tariff classification of a "Baby Cabana" from Hong Kong
and China.
Dear Ms. Everill:
In your letter dated November 19. 1991, you requested a
classification ruling.
The sample submitted is an open half-dome shape shell
composed of 65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton woven
fabric sewn over an aluminum frame. The article features a
detached pad and a mesh screen. At times, the article may be
constructed of 100 percent cotton woven fabric.
The applicable subheading for the "Baby Cabana" composed of
65 percent polyester and 35 percent cotton will be 6306.22.9030,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds; tents; sails for
boats, sailboards or landcraft; camping goods: Tents: Of
Synthetic fibers: Other, other. The rate of duty will be 10
percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the "Baby Cabana" composed of
100 percent cotton will be 6306.21.0000, HTS, which provides for
tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds; tents; sails for boats,
sailboards or landcraft; camping goods: Tents: Of Cotton. The
rate of duty will be 16 percent ad valorem.
The "Baby Cabana", classified under subheading 6306.22.9030,
falls within textile category designation 669. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are
subject to visa requirement and products of China are subject to
quota and visa requirements.
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
