RE: The tariff classification of a woman's knit jumpsuit from
Canada.
Dear Mr. Gregory:
In your letter dated June 22,1993, and in a subsequent
letter dated July 19,1993, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The submitted sample, style number 6113, is a women's knit
jumpsuit. The outer portion of the jumpsuit is constructed from a
50% polyester, 40% nylon 10% spandex knit fabric. Style number
6113 features stirrups, long sleeves, a partial front opening
from the neck to the waist with a zippered closure, a decal logo
reading BARE on the lower portion of the right arm, the back of
the neck and a sewn on patch with a BARE emblem on the back
portion of the right arm.
The sample is being returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for style number 6113 will be
6114.30.3054, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit jumpsuits of synthetic
fibers...other. The rate of duty will be 16.1 percent ad
valorem.
Goods classifiable under subheading 6114.30.3054 HTS, which
have originated in the territory of Canada, will be entitled to
an 8 percent rate of duty under the United States-Canada Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) upon compliance with all applicable
regulations.
Style number 6113 falls within textile category designation
659. Based upon international textile trade agreements,
products of Canada are 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
