RE: The tariff classification of a woman's woven garment from
China
Dear Ms. Masco:
In your letter dated July 23, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling.
Style 7641 has been submitted. Style 7641 is a woman's
jacket constructed from 100% nylon woven fabric which has a
visible milky white polyurethane coating on the inner surface.
This jacket features a lining with polyfil, a full front zipper
opening, an imitation fur collar and two side seam pockets at the
waist. The jacket extends to the hips. As you have requested,
the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for style 7641 will be
6210.50.5020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
Annotated, which provides for garments, made up of fabrics of
heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907, other women's or girls',
of man-made fibers, other, anoraks... The duty rate will be 7.4%
ad valorem.
Style 7641 falls within textile category designation 635.
As a product of China this merchandise is currently subject to
visa and quota requirements based upon international textile
trade agreements.
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.
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
John J. Martuge
Area Director,
