RE: The tariff classification of a woman's suit-type Jacket from
Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Densmore:
In your letter dated September 15,1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style number TY32 is a woman's 100% cotton, knit tailored
suit-type jacket that is made to be worned over a lighter
outerwear garment. The jacket has four panels, of which two are
at the front, sewn together lengthwise. The garment features the
following: a nylon, woven lining; a notched-lapel collar; long,
hemmed sleeves with two button closures; attached shoulder pads;
a full front opening with a three button closure; two inset,
welt pockets below the waist; an inset, left chest pocket; and a
hemmed bottom. We cannot rule on style TY33. It was not
submitted with this package.
The applicable subheading for the jacket will be
6104.32.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's suit-type jackets, knitted: of
cotton. The rate of duty will be 16.9% ad valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 335.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong 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
