RE: The tariff classification of gloves from China.
Dear Ms. Bloom:
In your letter dated May 24, 1994, you requested a
classification ruling.
You have submitted two samples. Style 2-6034 is a 73% wool,
15% nylon and 12% acrylic knit glove. The glove is knit in one
piece boucle stitch and features a hemmed cuff. Style 2-5037 is
a 68% mohair, 17% wool and 15% acrylic knit glove. The glove is
knit in one piece boucle stitch and features a hemmed cuff.
The applicable subheading for styles 2-6034 and 2-5037, will
be 6116.91.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or
crocheted: other: of wool or fine animal hair. The duty rate
will be 33.1 cents per kg. plus 7.4 percent ad valorem.
Styles 2-6034 and 2-5037 fall within textile category
designation 431. Based upon international textile trade
agreements, products of China 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
