RE: The tariff classification of a man's knit sweater from the
United Kingdom.
Dear Mr. Kenyon:
In your letter dated March 20, 1997, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style 11725 is a man's sweater constructed from 50 percent
wool, 50 percent acrylic, double knit fabric containing 7
stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction.
The garment features a full front opening with five button
closures; a V-neckline; long sleeves with rib knit cuffs; and a
rib knit waistband. There are woven epaulets at the shoulders and
woven patches at each elbow.
As requested, your sample will be returned.
At the time of entry, Customs may verify the actual fiber
content of Style 11725. If the fiber content varies from the
weight breakdown indicated in your letter, the HTS classification
may differ from the information indicated below. The applicable subheading for Style 11725 will be 6110.30.1510,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests)
and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers:
containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal
hair: sweaters: men's or boys'. The duty rate will be 17 percent
ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of
the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter or the control number listed above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this
merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding this
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.
