RE: The tariff classification of a man's suit-type jacket
from Hong Kong
Dear Ms. Johnson:
This is in response to your letter requesting a tariff
classification ruling .
The submitted sample, style number 52R743-25, is a man's
partially lined suit-type jacket that is constructed from woven
fabric composed of 55 percent linen and 45 percent rayon.
The garment features long sleeves, a stand-up collar, and a full
frontal opening that is secured by four button closures. The
jacket has two front panels, two rear panels, and two side
panels. The garment also features one chest pocket and two flap
pockets located below the waist. There are also pockets located
on the inside of the two front panels.
The submitted sample will be returned under separate cover.
The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6203.39.9060,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for men's suit-type jackets and blazers, of other
textile materials, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be
6.9 percent ad valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 833. As a
product of Hong Kong, this merchandise is presently subject to a
visa requirement based upon international textile trade
agreements.
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
entry documents are filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
D. Lynn Gordon
District Director
