RE: The tariff classification of a scarf from Hong Kong.
Dear Mr. Kamnity:
In your letter dated April 24, 1990, on behalf of Outlander,
division of Leslie Fay, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
One sample was submitted. Style no. 2910 is a 70%
acrylic/25% wool/5% nylon, 12 guage knit scarf. The scarf will
measure 68 inches in length and will be 24 inches wide.
The applicable subheading for the scarf will be
6117.10.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for Other made up clothing accessories,
knitted or crocheted. Knitted or crocheted parts of garments or
of clothing accessories: Shawls, scarfs, mufflers, mantillas,
veils and the like: Of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be
12% ad valorem.
The scarf falls within textile category designation 659 .
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to quota restraints and Export Licence.
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
