RE: The tariff classification of a woman's ruana-type garment
from Italy.
Dear Ms. Paulino:
In your letter dated May 29, 1992, you requested a
classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style number 1000, is a woman's ruana-
type garment constructed of a woven 100% acrylic fabric.
The ruana-type garment is rectangular in shape. The garment
is approximately 66 1/2 inches in length and 52 inches in width.
There is a narrow U-shaped cutout starting at one end of the
garment, extending approximately 32 inches into the center of the
fabric. When the ruana-type garment is worn the U-shaped cutout
allows the garment to be draped over the shoulders and around the
neck forming two front panels with a full front opening. Two of
the edges of the garment feature a fringe border.
The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6202.13.4020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other women's overcoats, carcoats,
capes, cloaks and similar articles, of man-made fibers. The duty
rate will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.
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
