RE: The tariff classification of a woman's shirt from India
Dear Mr. Julich:
In your letter dated June 2, 1998, you requested a classification ruling on
behalf of Balance Imports Inc. The sample submitted with your request will be
returned to you under separate cover.
Style 1B469N is a woman's shirt constructed from 100 percent cotton woven
fabric. The shirt features long sleeves with button cuffs, a collar, one chest
pocket, side slits and a full front zippered opening.
The applicable subheading for style 1B469N will be 6206.30.3010, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls'
blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses: of cotton: other: other: with two or more
colors in the warp and/or the filling: women's. The duty rate will be 16
percent ad valorem.
Style 1B469N falls within textile category designation 341. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of India are subject to a visa
requirement and quota restraints.
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 Patricia Schiazzano at (212) 466 - 5866.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
