RE: The tariff classification of a woman's track suit from Qatar
or the United Arab Emirates
Dear Ms. Blevins:
In your letter dated April 9, 1993, on behalf of Jayanti Fibre
Industries, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style number 2000, is a woman's track suit. The
track suit consists of a windbreaker-type jacket and a pair of trousers
composed of a woven 100% nylon fabric shell with a knit 65% polyester/35%
cotton lining.
The jacket features contrasting colored fabric inserts and has a
stand-up collar with a full front opening secured by a heavy-duty zipper.
There are two side seam pockets at the waist, a drawcord tightening through
the collar and elasticized sleeve cuffs and waistband.
The trousers have an elasticized waistband with an inner drawcord
tightening. Below the waist there are two side seam pockets. Each ankle
cuff is elasticized.
The applicable subheading for the trousers will be 6211.43.0040,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other garments, women's or girls', of man-made fibers, track suits:
trousers. The duty rate will be 17 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6211.43.0050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
other garments, women's or girls', of man-made fibers, track suits: other.
The duty rate will be 17 percent ad valorem.
The trousers fall within textile category designation 648. The
jacket falls within textile category designation 635. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Qatar are not presently
subject to quota restraints or the requirement of a visa. Products of the
United Arab Emirates (AE) 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
