RE: The tariff classification of a woman's suit-type jacket from
Hong Kong.
Dear Ms. Conigliaro:
In your letter dated September 6, 1996 you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
Style number 82081 is a woman's suit-type jacket made with
100% boiled wool, knit fabric. The garment has three panels two
of which are in the front, sewn together lengthwise. The garment
features a pointed collar; long sleeves; a full front opening
with 5 button closures; and 2 front patch pockets below the
waist. Decorative snowflakes, polar bears and elk appliques are
sewn on the front panels and sleeves of the garment with
embroidered stitching. Decorative stitching finishes the collar,
sleeve openings, placket, pocket openings and the bottom of the
garment.
Your sample is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the suit-type jacket will be
6104.31.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's suit-type jackets: of wool or
fine animal hair. The duty rate will be 65.6 cents/kg + 19.2% ad
valorem.
The garment falls within textile category designation 435.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Hong Kong are subject to quota restraints and the requirement of
a visa.
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. 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 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 Mike
Crowley at 212-466-5852.
