RE: The tariff classification of a skirt for girls’ wear from China
Dear Mr. Armani:
In your letter dated March 3, 2004 you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted garment, manufactured from denim fabric of 55% ramie/23% polyester/21% cotton/1% spandex, is a skirt, trouser-styled, from the lower edge of which extends a pleated panel of chambray fabric.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the skirt will be 6204.59.4060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for …girls’…skirts…of other textile materials, other, other, other. The duty rate will be 6.6 percent ad valorem.
The skirt falls within textile category designation 842. Based upon international textile trade agreements this product of China is not presently subject to quota nor the requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas, which is available at our Web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kirschner at 646-733-3048.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
