RE: The tariff classification of a man's track suit and a man's
jacket and pair of shorts from Pakistan
Dear Mr. Rashid:
In your letter dated August 19, 1992, you requested a
classification ruling.
Two samples were submitted as follows: Style number 786,
consists of a man's windbreaker-type jacket and pair of trousers
constructed of a woven 100% nylon fabric outershell. Both the
jacket and the trousers are lined with a knit 65% polyester/35%
cotton fabric lining.
The jacket is long sleeved and has a full front opening
secured by a heavy-duty zipper closure. There are two side seam
pockets located at the waist. The sleeve cuffs and waistband are
elasticized. The trousers have an elasticized waistband with an
inner drawcord tightening. There are two front pockets below the
waist. The ankle cuffs are elasticized.
Style number 787, consists of a man's windbreaker-type
jacket and pair of shorts constructed of a woven 100% nylon
fabric outershell. Both the jacket and the shorts are lined with
a knit 65% polyester/35% cotton fabric lining.
The jacket is short sleeved and has a full front opening
secured by a heavy-duty zipper closure. The waistband is
elasticized and there are two front slash pockets at the waist.
The shorts have an elasticized waistband with an inner drawcord
tightening. The garment has leg separations and extends from
the waist to the lower thigh in length. There are two front
pockets and one right rear pocket located below the waist.
The samples are being returned to you.
The applicable subheading for the pair of trousers of style
number 786 will be 6211.33.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, men's
or boys', of man-made fibers, track suits: trousers. The duty
rate will be 17 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the jacket of style number 786
will be 6211.33.0035, HTS, which provides for other garments,
men's or boys', of man-made fibers, track suits: other. The duty
rate will be 17 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the jacket of style number 787
will be 6201.93.3510, HTS, which provides for other men's
anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles, of man-made fibers.
The duty rate will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.

number 787 will be 6203.43.4030, HTS, which provides for other

The trousers of style number 786 and the shorts of style
number 787 fall within textile category designation 647. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of Pakistan
are presently subject to quota restraints and the requirement of
a visa.
The jacket of style number 786 and the jacket of style
number 787 fall within textile category designation 634. Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of Pakistan
are not presently subject to quota restraints but a visa is
required.
The designated textile and apparel categories 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
