RE: The tariff classification of a woman's dress from Sri Lanka.
Dear Ms. Koduri:
In your letter dated July 15, 1998 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, item number 012-0027, is a woman's
sleeveless dress constructed from 100% cotton, knit fabric. The
garment extends from the shoulders to the knee area and features
the following: a ribbed pointed collar; a front, partial zippered
opening in the chest area; 2 side slits; and a hemmed bottom.
Your sample is being returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the dress will be 6104.42.0010,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for women's dresses, knitted: of cotton. The duty rate
will be 11.9% ad valorem.
The dress falls within textile category designation 336.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Sri
Lanka are 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 Mike Crowley at 212-466-5852.
Sincerely,
