RE: The tariff classification of a ladies' woven garment from
China
Dear Ms. Cumins:
In your letter dated April 16, 1992, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of California Gold Rush, Inc.
The submitted sample, style 83094 is a ladies' dress with an
unattached tie. The dress is manufactured from 100 percent
cotton woven denim fabric. The dress reaches mid-thigh and
features a full frontal opening secured by nine metal buttons; a
collar with collarband; long sleeves with button cuffs and a
breast pocket. The tie measures 48 inches long and 2 inches wide
and tapers to a point at one end. The tie features a tacked on
loop which simulates a knot and allows the wearer to adjust the
fit around the neck.
Your sample will be returned as requested.
The dress and tie constitute a set. The applicable
subheading for the dress and tie will be 6204.42.3020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type
jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib
and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear);
dresses; of man-made fibers; other; other; with two or more
colors in the warp and/or filling;, women's. The rate of duty
will be 12.6 percent ad valorem.
The dress falls within textile category designation 336 and
the tie falls in textile category designation 659 from subheading
6215.20.0000. Based upon international textile trade agreements,
products of China are subject to a visa requirement 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 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
