RE: The tariff classification of a cotton cropped camisole from
Turkey.
Dear Ms. Castellanos:
In your letter dated December 13, 1990, on behalf of Hub
Distributing of Ontario, California, you requested a classification
ruling. As you requested, the sample will be returned to you.
Your submitted sample, style 2141, is a finely knitted cotton
cropped camisole. This garment features thin elastic shoulder straps
which extend as the top edge of the sides and back, a V-neck with a two
inch raschel knit edging and a small bow in the center. The garment
measures 14 inches from the top of the straps to the elasticized
bottom.
The applicable subheading for style 2141 will be 6108.91.0015,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for Women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs, panties,
nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar
articles knitted or crocheted: other: of cotton... underwear: other:
women's. The duty rate will be 9 percent ad valorem.
Style 2141 falls within textile category designation 352. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Turkey are
subject to quota restraints and 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 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
