RE: The tariff classification of a textile glove from the
Philippines.
Dear Mr. Cohen:
In your letter dated April 6, 1994, you requested a
classification ruling.
Your submitted sample, style T2705RM, is a knitted glove
which you indicate is constructed of 55% ramie and 45% cotton
fabric. The cut and sewn work glove features a cotton applied
knit cuff.
The applicable subheading for style T2705RM, will be
6116.99.8060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: other: of other textile materials: other, other:
other. The duty rate will be 4 percent ad valorem.
Style T2705RM falls within textile category designation 831.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
the Philippines are subject to quota restraints and 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
