RE: The tariff classification of a women's finely knit pullover

Dear Mr. Chen:
In your letter dated February 20, 1997, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.

features a mock turtle neck; long sleeves; side vents; and upper
thigh length.

other, other, other, women's or girls'. The rate of duty will be
33.5 percent ad valorem.
Style # 2036 falls within textile category designation 639.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.
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. 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 the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.
Sincerely,
Allen Paterson
