RE: The tariff classification of a woman's pullover from Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Miller:
In your letter dated December 6, 1989, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Nike style 7RP2 is a woman's woven pullover. The garment is
composed of a 100% nylon fabric on the front, a 100% nylon free
hanging yoke on the upper back covering a 65% polyester/35% cotton
mesh opening and a 80% cotton/20% polyester brushed fleece fabric on
the lower back and sleeves.
The sample submitted has two side pockets at the waist and a rib
knit collar, cuffs and waistband. There is a partial front zipper
opening with a contrasting colored fabric insert at the neck.
Embroidered on the front of the pullover is the trade name "Nike".
The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be 6202.93.5010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for other women's anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles, of man-
made fibers. The rate of duty is 29.5 percent ad valorem
The garment falls within textile category designation 635. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan are
subject to quota restraints and a visa requirement.
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
