RE: The tariff classification of a woman's pullover from Thailand.
Dear Ms. Brault:
In your letter dated January 28, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style number P7195, is a woman's
pullover constructed from a 65% polyester, 35% cotton, finely knit fabric. The
outer surface of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2
centimeters in the horizontal direction. The garment is designed to be worn
over pants or tights. The garment features the following: a round
neckline, short hemmed sleeves, and a hemmed gathered bottom.
Your sample is being returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the pullover will be 6110.30.3055,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
women's sweaters, pullovers and similar articles, knitted: of man-made
fibers: other. The duty rate will be 34.2% ad valorem.
The pullover falls within textile category designation 639. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Thailand are
presently 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 been
filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the
Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
