RE: The tariff classification of a ladies' garment from India
Dear Ms. Castellanos:
In your letter dated February 28, 1991 on behalf of Hub
Distributing, you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style 25243-20, is a woman's
sleeveless blouse manufactured from a 100% woven rayon printed
fabric. The blouse extends to the vicinity of the hips and
features a full front opening secured by ten buttons, scoop
neckline, single breast patch pocket, straight bottom with side
slits, and faced neckline and armholes finished like capping.
The applicable subheading for the blouse will be
6206.40.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's blouses of man-made fibers.
The duty rate will be 28.6% and valorem.
The blouse falls within textile category designation 641.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
India are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.
Your sample will be returned as requested.
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
