RE: The tariff classification of a cotton glove from the
Philippines.
Dear Mr. Peterson:
In your letter dated March 20, 1991, on behalf of Aris-
Isotoner, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style 63302, is a ladies' cut and sewn
knit glove. The glove is composed of 70% cotton and 30% man-made
fibers by weight. The interior surface of this material is
napped, to give a terry-cloth-like appearance. This glove
features fourchettes and a hemmed wrist. A 1/4 inch wide
rectangular strip of rubber is applied to the palm-side of each
finger and the back of the hand over the insert thumb. In
addition, rubber is applied to part of the palm of the glove in a
small chevron design. The glove is not considered impregnated,
coated or covered with plastics or rubber.
The applicable subheading for style 63302 will be
6116.92.6050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: of cotton: other: made from pre-existing machine knit
fabric, with fourchettes: jersey type, brushed or napped fabric.
The duty rate will be 25 percent ad valorem.
Style 63302 falls within textile category designation 331.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
the Philippines 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
