RE: The tariff classification of ladies' woven garments from
China
Dear Ms. Cumins:
In your letter dated April 16, 1992 on behalf of California
Gold Rush, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
Styles 83913/83915 and 83914/83926 are ladies' garments each
style consisting of a romper-like garment, shirt and unattached
tie. The romper-like garments are manufactured from 100% woven
cotton denim fabric. They extend above the knees and feature leg
separations, partial front openings secured by five metal
buttons, deep V front neckline, deep armholes, mock pockets and
rear belt segments; the garments lack coverage for wear without
the shirts or other outer garments. The shirts are manufactured
from 100% woven cotton fabric, style 83914/83926 from a yarn dyed
striped one. The shirts feature full front openings secured by
five buttons, three quarter length sleeves, pointed collars, and
straignt bottoms. The ties are manufactured from woven fabrics:
style 83914/83926 from a 100% cotton denim, style 83913/83915
from a 60% rayon, 40% cottom plaid. The ties measure
approximately 48 inches long and 2 inches wide and taper to a
point at one end. The ties feature a tacked on loop which
simulates a knot and allows the wearer to adjust the fit around
the neck.
The applicable subheading for the romper styled garments
will be 6211.42.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for women's other garments of
cotton. The duty rate will be 8.6% ad valorem. The shirts and
ties constitute a set and their applicable subheadings will be
6206.30.3040 for style 83913/83915 and 6206.30.3010 for style
83914/83926 which provide for women's blouses, shirts and shirt-
blouses of cotton with a duty rate of 16.4% ad valorem.
The romper styled garments fall within textile category
designation 359, the shirts in 341; the tie for style 83913/83915
falls within category 659 from subheading 6215.20.0000, the tie
for style 83914/83926 within category 359 from subheading
6215.90.0015. Based upon international textile trade agreements,
products of China are subject to visa requirements; category 341
is subject to quota restraints as well.
Your samples 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 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
Area Director
