RE: The tariff classification of a man's knit jacket from Korea,
the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Tumbarello:
In your letter dated January 24, 1997, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Item Pepsi II 97 is a man's jacket constructed from 100
percent polyester, finely knit fabric which is heavily napped on
the inside and outside surfaces. The jacket features a full
front opening with a zippered closure; a convertible collar; long
zip off sleeves with elastic capping at the wrist; a zippered
pocket at the left chest; two zippered pockets below the waist;
and elasticized capping at the bottom.
As requested, your sample will be returned.
The applicable subheading for Item Pepsi II 97 will be
6101.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats,
capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-breakers and
similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of
heading 6103: of man-made fibers: other: other: men's. The duty
rate will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.
Item Pepsi II 97 falls within textile category designation
634. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Korea, the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, are subject to
a visa requirement 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 Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter or the control number indicated
above should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding
this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.
