RE: The tariff classification of men's woven shorts from Pakistan.
Dear Ms. Mossa:
In your letter dated October 29, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned
to you.
Your submitted sample, style 5700 is a pair of men's 100%
cotton twill woven shorts. The garment features a waistband with
a one button closure, zippered fly front, pleats, belt loops, front
slash pockets, two rear one buttoned pockets and hemmed bottoms.
The garment will be imported in sizes 30-35. Style 5701 is
identical, except for sizing; it will be imported in sizes 36-44.
The applicable subheading for styles 5700 and 5701, will be
6203.42.4050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches
and shorts: trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts:
of cotton: other: other, shorts: men's. The duty rate will be 17.3
percent ad valorem.
Styles 5700 and 5701 fall within textile category designation
347. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Pakistan 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.
Sincerely,
