RE: The tariff classification of a man's jacket from Nepal
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
In your letters dated February 16, 1994, and May 2, 1994, on
behalf of Quiksilver, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style number S109311, "Pabst Blue
Ribbon", is a man's jacket. The jacket is constructed of a woven
plaid design 100% cotton fabric shell.
The jacket has a full front opening secured by a zipper
closure. The garment features long sleeves without cuffs, two
front pockets with side openings at the waist and a straight bottom
hem.
The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6201.92.2051,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for other men's anoraks, windbreakers and similar
articles, of cotton. The duty rate will be 10 percent ad valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 334.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Nepal
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
