RE: The tariff classification of a men's T-shirt from Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Vinicky:
In your letter dated May 12, 1998, you requested a tariff classification
ruling. Your sample will be returned, as requested.
Style White Underwear/786/043 is a men's all white T-shirt constructed from
100 percent cotton, finely knit jersey fabric. The garment features a rib knit
crew neckline; short, hemmed sleeves; and a hemmed bottom. You have stated that
the garment will be imported in sizes Medium, Large and Extra-Large.
The applicable subheading for Style White Underwear/786/043 will be
6109.10.0005, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which
provides for: T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or
crocheted: of cotton: men's or boys': T-shirts: other. The duty rate will be
19.2 percent ad valorem.
Style White Underwear/786/043 falls within textile category designation
352. Based upon international textile trade agree
ments, products of Pakistan are subject to a visa requirement and quota
restraints.
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 letter or the control number indicated above should
be attached to 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.
