RE: The tariff classification of two women's suit-type jackets
from Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Kotchka:
In your letter dated February 19, 1993, on behalf of the
Outlander Division of the Leslie Fay Companies, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Styles 3349 and 3346 are both women's tailored suit-type
jackets that are constructed from 95% cotton, 5% spandex, knit
fabric. Both garments have three panels, of which two are at the
front, sewn together lengthwise. The jackets are designed to be
worn over a lighter outer garment. Style 3349 features the
following: a notched lapel collar; attached shoulder pads; long
hemmed sleeves; a full frontal double-breast opening; six button
closures; and a hemmed bottom. Style 3346 features the following:
a V-neckline; attached shoulder pads; long hemmed sleeves; and a
full frontal opening with six button closures. The jacket has
front and back darts and pointed front panels. Your garments are
being returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the garments will be 6104.32.0000,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for women's suit-type jackets, knitted: of cotton. The
rate of duty will be 16.9% ad valorem.
The products fall within textile category designation 335.
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
Area Director
New York Seaport
