RE: The classification of a woman's knit top from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Hall:
In your letter dated August 19, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling for a women's top. The sample is being
returned, as you requested.
Style 811473 is a sleeveless top constructed from 100% nylon
rib knit fabric. The top features spaghetti straps constructed
from cubic zirconia, and a a square neckline in front. The upper
back of the garment is cut straight across from side seam to side
seam.
The applicable subheading for style 811473 will be
6114.30.1020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other garments, knitted or crocheted,
of man-made fibers, tops, women's or girls. The rate of duty
will be 29.3 percent ad valorem.
Style 811473 falls within textile category designation 639.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Taiwan 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 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.
If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist Angela De Gaetano at 212-466-5540.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
