RE: The tariff classification of a man's shirt from China and
United Arab Emirates.
Dear Mr. Goldstein:
In your letter dated February 17, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style 15 UAE, is a man's woven denim
cotton shirt. It has a woven cotton denim shell and a woven cotton
flannel liner. The garment has a collar, a yoke back, long sleeves
with button closure cuffs, a full frontal opening with button
closures and side vents. There is a vertical sewn down tuck on the
back panel. It has side seam pockets at the waist and patch breast
pockets with button through flaps.
As you requested, your sample is being returned to you.
The applicable subheading for the sample submitted will be
6205.20.2050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's woven cotton shirts with two or
more colors in the warp and/or filling. The rate of duty will be
21% ad valorem.
The sample submitted falls within textile category designation
340. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of China and United Arab Emirates are subject to visa restrictions
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
