RE: The tariff classification of a man's knit shirt from Guyana.
Dear Ms. Fernandez:
In your letter dated February 1, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Apparel Contractors.
The sample submitted (no style number indicated) is a man's
short sleeved, baseball-style shirt which is constructed from 100
percent cotton, finely knit fabric that measures more than ten
stitches per linear centimeter counted in both the horizontal and
vertical directions. The garment features a collarless, shallow,
V-shaped neckline; a full front opening with a five button
placket; short, raglan sleeves finished with overlaid edging; and
a hemmed, shirt-tail bottom.
The applicable subheading for this shirt will be
6105.10.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' shirts, knitted or
crocheted: of cotton: men's. The duty rate will be 21 percent ad
valorem.
This garment falls within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Guyana are presently not subject to visa requirements or 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 sub-
ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought
to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
