RE: The tariff classification of knitted open-work material from
Korea.
Dear Mr. Sanford:
In your letter dated June 2, 1992 you requested a classifica-
tion ruling on behalf of Daewoo International (America) Corp.
You have enclosed a three-foot long sample of an open-work
knitted material. The sample measures approximately 10 inches in
width, with fast edges along either side of the material. The
knitting has formed a net-like pattern with diamond-shaped stable
open meshes measuring approximately one inch by one inch. We
assume that it is of man-made fibers.
The applicable subheading for the open-work material will be
6002.20.1000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other knitted or crocheted fabrics; other,
of a width not exceeding 30 cm; open-work fabrics, warp-knit. The
duty rate will be 16% ad valorem.
This material falls within textile category designation 229.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Korea are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be sub-
divided 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
