RE: The tariff classification of a woman's jacket from Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Wilson:
In your letter dated July 27, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style 72-515W, is a jacket constructed
from 100
percent woven polyester fabric. The sheer, waist length jacket features a
pointed collar, long sleeves with one button cuffs, a full front opening
secured by five buttons and has two chest pockets that extend to the waist.
As requested, your sample will be returned to ytou.
The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6204.33.5010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses,
skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts
(other than swimwear):Suit-type jackets and blazers: of synthetic fibers:
other...women's. The rate of duty will be 29 percent ad valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 635. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to
a visa requirement and are currently not subject to quota restraints.
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 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
