RE: The tariff classification of a man's garment
from India.
Dear Mr. Stango:
In your letter dated September 24, 1993, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, Style #307, is a man's garment
manufactured from a loop terry knit fabric composed of 95 percent
cotton and 5 percent polyester. The outer surface of the fabric
is constructed with more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters
measured in the horizontal direction. The garment features a
spread collar, a full frontal opening with a zippered closure and
short hemmed sleeves. Also featured are two pockets with VELCRO
type closures at the waist and an elastic bottom.
The sample will be returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the submitted sample will be
6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for sweaters,...and similar articles,
knitted..., of cotton, other..., men's.... The rate of duty will
be 20.7 percent ad valorem.
Style #307 falls within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
India are subject to visa requirements.
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
