RE: The tariff classification of a man's long sleeved, woven shirt from Hong
Kong.
Dear Mr. Clark:
In your letter dated October 15, 1993, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
Style No. 145897 is a man's long sleeved shirt constructed from 55 percent
linen, 45 percent cotton fabric. The garment features a full front opening with
four button closures; a pointed, corduroy collar; two patch pockets with flaps,
which extend below the waist; a patch pocket with a flap, on the left side of the
chest; buttoned cuffs; and a hemmed bottom.
The applicable subheading for this garment will be 6205.90.4040, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: men's or boys'
shirts: of other textile materials: other: other. The duty rate will be 3 percent
ad valorem.
This garment falls within textile category designation 840. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to visa
requirements, but no 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 already
been filed, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer
handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
