RE: The tariff classification of gloves from Bangladesh.
Dear Ms. Shapiro:
In your letter dated August 7, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of Unique Industries, Inc.
The submitted sample, style 7500, is a glove constructed of
two pieces of finely knitted cotton fabric which are seamed
together. The glove has a raw edged wrist.
The applicable subheading for the glove will be 6116.92.6430,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for Gloves, mittens and mitts, knitted or crocheted:
other: of cotton: other: made from a pre-existing machine knit
fabric: without fourchettes . . . lisle type, no pile, not brushed
or napped. The duty rate will be 24.4 percent ad valorem.
The glove falls within textile category designation 331.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Bangladesh 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 Brian Burtnik at 212-466-5880.
Sincerely,
