RE: The tariff classification of a lady's cotton knitted
jumpsuit, style 33010224, from Macau.
Dear Ms. Ball:
In your letter dated March 12, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted one piece garment is characterized by long
sleeves, long legs, a drawstring threaded through the waist, a
round neckline, one chest pocket, and a full front, buttoned
opening.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6114.20.0052, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's knitted coveralls, jumpsuits,
and similar apparel, of cotton. The rate of duty will be 11.5
percent ad valorem.
The jumpsuit falls within textile category designation 359.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Macau 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 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
