RE: The tariff classification of a men's knit shirt from Sri
Lanka.
Dear Mr. Ralston:
In your letter dated March 26, 1997, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Kaid Industries Inc.
Style #15D9040 is a men's knit shirt constructed from 100
percent polyester, finely knit fabric which is napped on both the
inside and outside surfaces. The fabric contains more than 10
stitches per linear centimeter measured in both the horizontal
and vertical directions. The garment features a full front
opening with six button closures; a self-fabric spread collar; a
patch pocket on the left chest; long sleeves with buttoned cuffs;
and a straight, hemmed bottom with side slits.
The applicable subheading for Style #15D9040 will be
6105.20. 2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' shirts, knitted or
crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: men's. The duty rate will
be 33.8 percent ad valorem. Style #15D9040 falls within textile category designation 638.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Sri
Lanka 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 should or the control number listed
above should be provided with 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.
