RE: The tariff classification of a lady's woven cotton skirt,
style B968R, from India.
Dear Mr. Chugani:
In your letter dated September 27, 1991, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The wide legs of this divided skirt do not extend below the
knees. The front of this garment is pleated, there are side
pockets, and the back of the waistband is elasticized.
The inside of the lower edges of the legs of the garment
which was submitted are finished smoothly. These lower edges,
however, are not cuffed upwards.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6204.52.2070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's other skirts of cotton. The
rate of duty will be 8.7 percent ad valorem.
The skirt falls within textile category designation 342.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
India are subject to quota restraints and 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
