RE: The tariff classification of a woman's woven garment from
Taiwan.
Dear Ms. Dairo :
In your letter dated September 25, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling.
Style 9J300 has been submitted. Style 9J300 is a woman's
pea-style coat constructed from 100% cotton woven fabric with a
visible polyurethane coating on the outer shell. The coating
does not completely obscure the underlying cotton fabric. This
double-breasted coat features a full front opening secured by
three button closures, lapels, two front seam pockets below the
waist and long sleeves without cuffs. As you have requested, the
sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for style 9J300 will be
6210.30.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
Annotated, which provides for garments, made up of fabrics of
heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907, other garments, of the
type described in subheadings 6202.11 to 6202.19, other, other.
The duty rate will be 6.4% ad valorem.
Style 9J300 falls within textile category designation 335.
As a product of Taiwan this merchandise is currently subject to
visa and quota requirements based upon international textile
trade agreements.
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.
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
John Martuge
