RE: The tariff classification of a girls' skirt from China.
Dear Ms. White:
In your letter dated September 11, 1998, you requested a
tariff classification ruling.
The submitted sample, no style number indicated, is a girl's
woven skirt. The garment is constructed of 100% rayon fabric and
features a partial elasticized waist, a rear zipper closure, and
a flared hemmed bottom.
You state in your letter that the skirt will be imported in
girls' sizes 7-14.
The applicable subheading for the skirt will be
6204.59.3020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' skirts and divided
skirts, of other textile materials, of artificial fibers, other,
other, girls'. The rate of duty will be 16.6% ad valorem.
The skirt falls within textile category designation 642.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
China 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,
