RE: The tariff classification of labels from Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Maloney:
In your letter dated May 20, 1992, on behalf of Rafaella
Sportswear, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
The samples submitted are jacquard woven polyester labels in
rolled strip with demarcation at set intervals for cutting. The labels
depict the words "Rafaella Petites". The samples are being returned as
requested.
The applicable subheading for the labels will be 5807.10.1020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of, the United States (HTS), which provides
for labels, badges and similar articles of textile materials, in the
piece, in strips or cut to shape or size, not embroidered: Woven:
Labels, of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 9 percent ad
valorem.
The labels fall within textile category designation 669. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are
subject to 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
