RE: The tariff classification of ladies' knitted jogging suits,
styles B9001 and B9002, from Taiwan, Korea, Singapore,
Sri Lanka, or the Philippines.
Dear Mr. Powell:
In your letter dated July 19, 1990, on behalf of Nicholas
Import Corporation, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted unlined garments are manufactured from fleece
fabric of 85% polyester/15% cotton.
The trousers of both styles are characterized by an
elasticized waistband, rib-knitted ankles, and side pockets.
The long-sleeved pullovers are characterized by a partial-
front, snapped opening which extends into the high collar, side
pockets, a rib-knitted waistband and cuffs, and woven nylon
inserts which do not predominate.
As you have requested, the sample garments are being returned.
The applicable subheading for the trousers will be 6112.12.0060,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's...knitted trousers, track suits, of synthetic fibers. The
rate of duty will be 30 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the pullovers will be 6112.12.0040,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's...knitted shirts, track suits, of synthetic fibers. The
rate of duty will be 30 percent ad valorem.
The trousers fall within textile category designation 648,
and the pullovers within 639. Based upon international textile
trade agreements, products of Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Sri
Lanka, or the Philippines 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
Area Director
