RE: The tariff classification of a man's woven, boxer-style
sleepshorts from Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Everill:
In your letter dated February 3, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Lot No. 505-4300 is a pair of man's boxer-style sleepshorts
constructed from 100 percent cotton, woven denim fabric. The
sample, which is designed for wear in bed, is a boxer short style
garment with a fully elasticized waistband which no break. The
garment also has a fly with a button closure and hemmed leg
openings.
The applicable subheading will be 6207.91.3010, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for:
men's or boys' singlets and other undershirts, underpants, briefs,
nightshirts, pajamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar
articles: other: of cotton: other: sleepwear. The duty rate will
be 6.5 percent ad valorem.
Lot No. 505-4300 falls within textile category designation
351. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Hong Kong are subject only 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 merchandise may be subject to an ITC exclusion order
dealing with denim garments produced by certain acid wash methods.
For further information on admissibility you should contact your
local Customs office. This ruling applies to the classification of
the merchandise and not to its admissibility under the terms of the
exclusion order.
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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
