RE: The tariff classification of man's knit pullover from
Korea.
Dear Ms. Dugan:
In your letter dated February 14, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style No. 17F90-52A is a man's long sleeved pullover garment
which is constructed from a 100 percent acrylic, knit fabric
containing 11 stitches per two centimeters counted in the
horizontal direction. The garment features a rib knit spread
collar; a partial front opening with two button closures; long
sleeves; rib knit cuffs; and a continuously knit ribbed
waistband.
As requested, your sample will be returned.
The applicable subheading for Style No. 17F90-52A is
6110.30.3050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts,
waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of
man-made fibers: other: other: other: other: other: men's or
boys'. The duty rate will be 34.2 percent ad valorem.
Style No. 17F90-52A falls within textile category designation
638. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Korea are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.
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.
