RE: The tariff classification of a man's warm-up suit from
Singapore.
Dear Mr. Richardson:
In your letter dated January 26, 1993 you requested a
tariff classification ruling on behalf of Venture Stores.
Style No. LG 130-33, is a man's two piece warm-up suit
which is constructed from 90 percent polyester, 10 percent
cotton, finely knit fabric which is napped on the inside surface.
The upper garment has a convertible collar; a full front opening
with a zipper closure; long sleeves with rib knit cuffs; side
seam pockets; and a rib knit waistband. The pants have a fully
elasticized waistband with an inside drawstring; side seam
pockets; a patch pocket on the right rear which has a closure
similar to the VELCRO brand hook and loop fastener; and
elasticized cuffs at the ankles.
The applicable subheading for the upper garment will be
6112.12.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: track suits, ski-suits and swimwear,
knitted or crocheted: track suits: of synthetic fibers: garments
described in heading 6101 or 6102: men's or boys'. The duty rate
will be 30 percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for the pants will be
6112.12.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
(HTS), which provides for: track suits, ski-suits and swimwear,
knitted or crocheted: track suits: of synthetic fibers: trousers:
men's or boys'. The duty rate will be 30 percent ad valorem.
The upper garment falls within textile category designation
634 and the pants fall within textile category designation 647.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Singapore are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.
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 in-
spection 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 already been filed, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
