RE: The tariff classification of a woman's jacket from Korea.
Dear Ms. Smith:
In your letter dated July 26, 1990, on behalf of Daewoo
International (America) Corp., you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style number 252 529, is a woman's
pullover jacket. The outershell of the pullover is constructed
of a woven 100% nylon trilobal taffeta fabric. The lining is
composed of a 65% polyester/35% cotton knitted fabric.
The pullover has a stand-up collar with a closed neck. The
collar is secured by two snaps and a drawstring. There are two
nine inch side seam zippers, two front pockets at the waist and
elasticized sleeve cuffs and waistband. Featured at the front of
the neck, on the inner collar and at the zipper openings are
contrasting colored fabric inserts.
The applicable subheading for the pullover 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 will be
29.5 percent ad valorem.
The pullover falls within textile category designation 635.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Korea are presently 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
