RE: The tariff classification of a textile glove from Korea.
Dear Ms. Scherer:
In your letter dated July 23, 1992, you requested, on behalf
of Joseph N. Rozek a classification ruling.
Your submitted sample is a knit glove which you state is
made of cotton. The palm of the glove is covered with small
closely spaced dots of PVC. This glove features fourchettes, a
side slit wrist trimmed with cotton binding and a hotel casino
logo on the back of the hand. This item will be sold to hotel
casinos, to be used as gifts for guests in promotion of the slot
machine areas.
The applicable subheading for the glove will be 6116.10.9010
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted:
... impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber: with
fourchettes, containing 50 percent or more by weight of cotton,
man-made fibers or other textile fibers, or any combination
thereof: subject to cotton restraints. The duty rate will be 14
percent ad valorem.
The glove falls within textile category designation 331.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Korea are subject to quota restraints 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
