RE: The tariff classification of a knit shirt from Guatemala.
Dear Ms. Karmali:
In your letter received September 30, 1993 on behalf of Sun
Sportswear, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, Style 35450-0 is a shirt manufactured
from a finely knit fabric composed of 90 percent cotton and 10
percent acrylic. The outer surface of the fabric is constructed
with more than 10 stitches per linear centimeter in each
direction. The garment features a left over right full frontal
opening with five button closures, long sleeves with rib-knit
cuffs and a hood with drawstring. Also featured is a hemmed
bottom with side slits and a tail.
The sample will be returned as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the submitted sample will be
6105.10.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's...shirts, knitted..., of cotton.
The rate of duty will be 21 percent ad valorem.
Style #35450-0 falls within textile category designation
338. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products
of Guatemala are not presently subject to visa requirements or
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
