RE: The tariff classification a mosquito head net from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Yarns:
In your letter dated August 8, 1990 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted is a mosquito head net. The item is
used over the head to protect the wearer from getting mosquito
bites around the head and neck area. The mosquito head net is
made of a warp knit nylon material that is worn over headwear.
The mosquito net is not considered headwear in that it requires a
hat to fit the head.
The applicable subheading for a mosquito head net will be
6117.80.0035, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other made up clothing accessories,
knitted or crocheted; knitted or crocheted parts of garments or
of clothing accessories: Other accessories .... other. The rate
of duty will be 15.5% ad valorem.
The mosquito head net falls within textile category
designation 659. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to quota restraints
and visa requirements.
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 Section
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.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
