RE: The tariff classification of a man's knit pullover from the
People's Republic of China.
Dear Ms. Halloran:
In your letter dated January 30, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style No. 409-1PKT-L.C.M. is a man's short sleeved pullover
garment which is constructed from 100 percent cotton, finely knit
jersey fabric. The garment features a rounded neckline; wide, loose
fitting hemmed sleeves; a hemmed bottom; and a patch pocket on
the left chest. You have stated in your letter that this garment
will be imported in sizes large and larger.
As requested, your sample will be returned.
The applicable subheading for this garment will be

(HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts,
waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of
cotton: other: other: other: men's or boys'. The duty rate will be
20.7 percent ad valorem.
This garment falls within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
People's Republic of China 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
