RE: The tariff classification of a boy's jacket and two boys' shirts from
Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Clark:
In your letter dated June 8, 1998, you requested a classification ruling.
Three samples were submitted as follows: Style number 2846105L is a boy's
jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven 100% cotton fabric. In a
phone conversation you indicated that the jacket is lined in the body with a
knit 100% polyester fleece fabric and in the sleeves with a woven 100% nylon
fabric which is quilted to a non-woven polyester fill.
The jacket has a pointed collar and a full front opening secured by a
heavy-duty zipper closure with oversized teeth and which measures approximately
1/4-inch wide. There are two chest pockets with flaps, two side seam pockets at
the waist, long sleeves with button closures on the sleeve cuffs and a straight
bottom hem.

body with a knit 100% polyester fleece fabric and in the sleeves with a woven
100% nylon fabric which is quilted to a non-woven polyester fill.
Each garment features a shirt-style collar and a full front opening secured
by six left-over-right button closures. Each garment has two chest pockets with
flap closures, two side seam pockets at the waist, long sleeves with button

Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are
presently subject to quota restraints and the requirement of a visa.
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 W. Raftery at 212-466-
5851.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
