RE: The tariff classification of boys' swimwear from China.
Dear Ms. Rampy:
In your letter dated September 7, 1993 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The sample submitted has a woven shell of 70% cotton and 30% nylon. The
liner is made of nylon tricot. The garment has a fully elasticized waistband
with a functional drawstring below and contiguous to it. It has side seam
pockets and a rear pocket. On the right leg there is a logo stating: Seek It,
Surf It, C-Shore, Sail It, Swim It. The left leg has a logo stating: C-Shore,
Tide + Wind = Wave.
As you requested, your sample is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the sample submitted will be 6211.11.2020,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
boys' woven cotton swimwear. The rate of duty will be 8% ad valorem.
The sample submitted falls within textile category designation 359. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to
visa requirements 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 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
