RE: The tariff classification of knit glove and sock liners
from China.
Dear Ms. Cunningham:
In your letter dated December 7, 1994, on behalf of Terramar
Sports Worldwide Ltd., you requested a classification ruling. As
requested, the sample will be returned to you.
You have submitted two samples. Style SW185 is a pair of
knitted 70% silk and 30% wool glove liners. The gloves have an
inset thumb, fourchettes and an applied knit cuff.
Style SW186 is a pair of knitted 70% silk and 30% wool knee
high sock liners.
The applicable subheading for style SW185, will be
6116.99.8020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: other: of other textile materials: other, subject to
wool restraints. The duty rate will be 4 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for style SW187, will be
6115.99.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for panty hose, tights, stockings and
socks, . . . knitted or crocheted: other: of other textile
materials: other, containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk
or silk waist. The duty rate will be 10.5 percent ad valorem.
Style SW185, fall within textile category designation 431.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China are subject to visa requirements and 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 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
