RE: The tariff classification of a woman's shirt from Indonesia
Dear Mr. Vollmerhausen:
In your letter dated July 17, 1998, you requested a classification ruling.
Style 2720 is a woman's shirt constructed from 55 percent linen and 45
percent cotton woven fabric. The garment features long hemmed sleeves, a
V-neckline, side vents and a full front opening secured by four buttons.
The applicable subheading for style 2720 will be 6206.90.0040, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls'
blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses: of other textile materials: other. The duty
rate will be 6.9 percent ad valorem.
Style 2720 falls within textile category designation 840. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Indonesia are subject to a
visa requirement and not to quota restraints.
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 Patricia Schiazzano at (212) 466 - 5866.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
