RE: The tariff classification of men's garments from Hong Kong
Dear Ms. Antrim:
In your letter dated November 26, 1990, you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of Darvel Inc.
Sample No. 46965 is a man's sleeveless garment constructed
from a 100 percent cotton, finely knit jersey fabric. The garment
reaches from the shoulders to below the waist and features a low,
rounded front neckline; oversized armholes; two inch wide shoulder
straps; fully open sides, which are each secured by a single closure;
hemming around all the edges; and a screen printed, puffed logo
design on the front panel. Both the front and back panels are
constructed of a single piece of fabric.
Sample No. 46064 is a man's garment constructed from a 100
percent cotton, finely knit jersey fabric. The garment reaches from
the shoulders to below the waist and features a rib knit, mock
turtle neckline; fully open sides, which are each secured by a single
closure; dropped shoulders which form short, capped sleeves when
the sides are closed; hemming around all the edges; and a screen
printed, puffed logo design on the front panel. Both the front and
back panels are constructed of a single piece of fabric.
The applicable subheading for both garments will be
6114.20.0005, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: other garments, knitted or crocheted: of
cotton: tops: men's or boys'. The duty rate will be 11.5 percent ad
valorem and will remain the same in 1991.
Both garments fall within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong
Kong are subject to visa requirements.
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 sub-
ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
