RE: The tariff classification of a collar and a cuff
from Taiwan
Dear Mr. Wong:
In your letter of June 22, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of your client, Meriken Apparel
International Inc.
You have submitted samples of a collar and a cuff, which you
have advised will be used as parts of knit shirts. Both articles
are knit, and are 100% cotton.
The applicable subheading for both articles will be
6117.90.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other made up clothing accessories,
knitted or crocheted; knitted or crocheted parts of garments or
of clothing accessories: parts: other...of blouses and shirts:
of cotton. The rate of duty will be 15.1%.
The applicable textile category for these items is 339.
This merchandise is subject to visa requirements based on
international textile trade agreements. The designated textile
and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa
and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may
be affected. Since 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.
Your samples will be returned under separate cover.
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,
John M. Regan
Service Port Director
Cleveland, Ohio
