RE: The tariff classification of a woman's cardigan from China
Dear Ms. Cheung:
In your letter dated December 3, 1997, you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style 84454, is a woman's cardigan
style garment of 100% rayon finely knit fabric. The cardigan
reaches mid-thigh, and features long sleeves, a hemmed bottom,
and a single button closure just below the bustline.
Your sample will be returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be
6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, waistcoats(vests)
and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, of man-made fibers,
other, women's or girls'. The duty rate will be 33.5%.
Style 84454 falls within textile category designation 639. -
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China are subject to quota and the requirements of a visa.
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 Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.
Sincerely,
Artis M. Morgan, Jr.
