upon international textile trade
agreements. 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.
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
