RE: The tariff classification of women's jackets from
Hong Kong
Dear Ms. Gelens:
This is in response to your letter dated August 24, 1995, in which
you request a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted samples, style number 3807 and style number 4006, are
women's jackets. Style number 3807 is constructed from knit fabric
composed of 85 percent polyester and 15 percent cotton. Style number
4006 is constructed from knit fabric composed of 65 percent polyester
and 35 percent cotton.
Both garments extend to slightly below the waist and feature full
frontal openings secured by zipper closures. The jackets have
permanently attached shoulder pads and long sleeves with rib knit
cuffs. The garments also feature slanted front pockets, rib knit
bottoms, and permanently attached hoods with drawstring tightenings.
The submitted samples will be returned under separate cover.
The applicable subheading for the jackets will be 6102.30.2010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's...anoraks..., windbreakers, and similar articles,
knitted...: of
man-made fibers: other: other. The rate of duty will be
29.8 percent ad valorem.
The garment falls within textile category designation 635. As a
product of Hong Kong, this merchandise is presently subject to a visa
requirement and quota restraints 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
Miami District
