RE: The tariff classification of glove liners from China.
Dear Ms. Antrim-Saizan:
In your letter dated April 5, 1993, on behalf of Patagonia,
you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the sample
will be returned to you.
Your submitted sample, style 89880, is a glove liner. The
item's outer layer is made of a waterproof plastic coated nylon
knit cut and sewn fabric. A thick polyester knit pile fabric
forms the inner layer. This glove liner also features four snaps
at the wrist which are used for attachment to an outer shell.
The applicable subheading for style 89880 will be
6116.10.4575, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens or mitts, knitted or
crocheted: gloves, mittens and mitts impregnated, coated or
covered with plastics or rubber: other: without fourchettes: cut
and sewn from pre-existing machine-knit fabric, that is
impregnated, coated or covered with plastics or rubber: other,
other: subject to man-made fiber restraints. The duty rate will
be 19.8 percent ad valorem.
Style 89880 falls within textile category designation 631.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China 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
