RE: The tariff classification of a jacket from China.
Dear Ms. Johnson:
In your letter dated April 7, 1997, you requested a
classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned
to you.
Your submitted sample, style 73R906-03 is a man's 100% wool
jacket with a 100% woven acetate lining. The garment features long
sleeves with two functional side buttons at the cuff area, a
notched collar, a full frontal opening secured with a zipper
closure and a single breasted four button closure over the zipper.
The jacket also has a flapped breast pocket, two flapped patch
pockets below the waist and two inside breast pockets one of which
is flapped with a button closure.
The applicable subheading for style 73R906-03 will be
6211.31.0045, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear;
other garments: other garments, men's or boys': of wool or fine
animal hair, jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading
6201. The duty rate will be 15.5 percent ad valorem.
Style 73R906-03 falls within textile category designation 434.
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. If you have any questions
regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Gerard
Shea at 212-466-5878.
