RE: The tariff classification of a boy's brace pants from Macau.
Dear Mr. Imbrogulio:
In your letter dated August 3, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, Style #ON-9106, is a pair of boy's
Berber fleece brace pants. The garment is knit and constructed
of 50% acrylic/50% polyester fabric and features adjustable
shoulder straps, an elasticized waist and elasticized cuffs.
You state in your letter that Style #ON-9106 will be
imported in boys' sizes t, 3T and 4T.
We are returning your sample as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the pants will be
6103.43.1540, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' breeches and shorts
(other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted, trousers, bib and
brace overalls, breeches and shorts, of synthetic fibers, other,
trousers and breeches, boys', other. The rate of duty will be
29.3% ad valorem.
The pants fall within textile category designation 647.
Based upon textile trade agreements, products of Macau are
presently subject to quota restraints and visa requirements.
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.
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.
Sincerely,
