RE: The tariff classification of a boys' shirt and tank top from
Indonesia
Dear Ms. Piccirillo:
In your letter dated June 18, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style 41-12201A9 consists of two items. One is a jersey
knit t-shirt which you indicate is 65% polyester and 35% cotton.
The other is a warp knit tank top which you indicate is 100%
polyester. The t-shirt has short hemmed sleeves, a rib knit crew
neck and a hemmed bottom. The tank top has a scoop neckline in
both the front and back, narrow shoulder straps and deep
armholes. All edges are hemmed. You have stated that these
garments will be imported together with the tank top attached to
the top of each t-shirt shoulder seam. This style will be
imported in boys' sizes 8 to 16.
The applicable subheading for the t-shirt will be
6109.90.1009 and the subheading for the tank top will be
6109.90.1025, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS). Subheading 6109.90.1009 provides for T-shirts, singlets,
tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made
fibers: Men's or boys': T-shirts: Boys'. Subheading
6109.90.1025 provides as above, but for Tank tops and singlets:
Boys'. The rate of duty for both items will be 33.2 percent ad
valorem.
Both garments fall within textile category designation 638.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Indonesia are subject to quota 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.
Sincerely,
Alice M. Rigdon,
Port Director
San Francisco
