RE: The tariff classification of a lady's knitted dress, style
1723A, from Singapore.
Dear Mr. Baird:
In your letter dated September 5, 1990, on behalf of Golden
Touch Imports, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
This jersey garment is manufactured from 65% polyester/35%
cotton. The body of the garment is sleeveless, with a dropped
waistline and a scoop neckline. Sewn to the body of the garment
at the shoulders is an attachment, resembling a bolero jacket.
This attachment is long-sleeved, with a full-front, buttoned
opening, shoulder pads, and a V-neckline.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6104.43.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's other dresses of synthetic
fibers, knitted. The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.
The dress falls within textile category designation 636.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Singapore 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
