RE: The tariff classification of women's garments from Hong
Kong.
Dear Ms. Gajdos:
In your letter dated April 19, 1991, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted samples, styles 2078, 2001, and 2080 are
women's knit garments constructed from 95% cotton, 5% spandex
knit fabric. Style number 2078 is a jumpsuit and is
characterized by a partial back opening with a zipper closure, a
turtleneck and long sleeves.
Styles 2001 and 2080 are also described by you as jumpsuits.
these garments are characterized by deep V necklines in the
front, and U necklines in the back extending to straps over the
shoulders. Both garments have oversized arm holes, and neither
has sufficient upper body coverage to be worn alone.
The applicable subheading for style 2078 will be
6114.20.0052, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit jumpsuits of cotton. The
rate of duty will be 11.5 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for styles 2001 and 2080 will be
6114.20.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knit other garments of cotton.
The rate of duty will be 11.5 percent ad valorem.
Styles 2078, 2001, and 2080 fall within textile category
designation 359. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to a visa
requirement.
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
