RE: The classification of a women's shirt from Macau. .
Dear Ms. Andrews:
In your letter dated May 29, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style number 841M8111 is a women's 100% polyester polar
fleece shirt. The shirt is constructed of over 10 stitches per 1
centimeter measured in the horizontal and vertical directions.
It extends from the neck to the hip area and features a pointed
collar, a full frontal opening with 5 button closures, a left
breast pocket, long hemmed sleeves, side vents and a straight
hemmed bottom.
Your sample is returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the shirt will be
6106.20.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' blouses and shirts,
knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Women's. The
rate of duty will be 33.6 percent ad valorem.
The shirt falls within textile category designation 639. As
a product of Macau this merchandise is subject to visa
requirements and quota restraints based upon international
textile trade agreements.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota restraints
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected since part
categories are subject to frequent 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 should be attached to the entry
documents at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Patrick O'Malley
Acting Port Director
