RE: The tariff classification of a boy's tank top from Indonesia.
Dear Ms. Piccirillo:
In your letter dated June 25, 1998, you requested a classification ruling.
Your submitted sample, style 40-12211B9 is an boy's 100% polyester mesh
knit tank top. The garment is reversible and features a scoop neckline,
oversized armholes, shoulder straps that measure 1 1/4 inches wide at the
shoulder and a hemmed bottom. The garment will be imported in boy's sizes 4-7X.
The applicable subheading for style 40-12211B9, will be 6109.90.1025,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for
T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: of
man-made fibers: men's or boys': tank tops and singlets: boys'. The duty rate
will be 33.2 percent ad valorem.
Style 40-12211B9 falls 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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist Bruce Kirschner at 212-
466-5865.
