RE: The tariff classification of a woman's blouse from the United
Arab Emirates
Dear Ms. Meyer:
In your letter received on April 18, 1997, you requested a
classification ruling. The sample submitted with your request will
be returned to you under separate cover.
Style Q2-80353 is a blouse constructed from 100 percent cotton
woven denim fabric. The sleeveless blouse features a collar, side
vents and a full front opening secured by six buttons.
The applicable subheading for the blouse will be 6206.30.3010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses:
of cotton: other: other: with two or more colors in the warp and\or
the filling: women's. The duty rate will be 16.1 percent ad
valorem.
The blouse falls within textile category designation 341.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of the
United Arab Emirates are currently not subject to a visa
requirement or quota restraints.
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 Patricia Schiazzano at
(212) 466 - 5866.
