RE: The tariff classification of a woman's cardigan from Korea
Dear Mr. Kahn:
In your letter dated May 4, 1998, you requested a classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style FG06-2292, is a woman's cardigan style garment
of 100% polyester double sided fleece. The cardigan features a full front
opening that closes right over left with six buttons, long hemmed sleeves,
hemmed bottom, and two patch pockets below the waist.
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, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or
crocheted, of man-made fibers, other, other, women's or girls' . The duty rate
will be 33.3%.
Style FG06-2292 falls within textile category designation 639. Based upon
international textile trade agreements, products of Korea 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.
