RE: The tariff classification of a woman's shirt from Dubai, Hong
Kong and Sri Lanka
Dear Ms. Markowitz:
In your letter dated May 20, 1998 you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of Tarrant Apparel Group, d/b/a
Fashion Resource. The sample submitted with your request will be
returned to you under separate cover.
Style 165243 is a woman's shirt constructed from 100 percent

button cuffs, a collar, two patch pockets below the waist and a
full front opening secured by seven buttons.
The applicable subheading for style 165243 will be
6211.42.0056, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear;
other garments: other garments, women's or girls': of
cotton:blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, sleeveless tank styles
and similar upper body garments excluded from heading 6206: other.
The duty rate will be 8.4 percent ad valorem.
Style 165243 falls within textile category designation 341.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Dubai, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka are subject to a visa requirement
and 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.
