RE: The tariff classification of men's dress shirts from China.
Dear Mr. Nissan:
In your letter dated September 22, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling.
Your submitted sample, style LS6535 is a man's 65% polyester
and 35% cotton woven shirt. The garment features long sleeves, a
two button cuff, a one button sleeve vent, a collar, a full frontal
opening with a seven button closure, a breast pocket and a curved
hemmed bottom. The garment conforms to dress shirt sizing
requirements and is of a solid color.
A sample wasn't submitted for style LS5545. The garment is a
man's 55% polyester and 45% cotton woven shirt. The garment will
be identical to style LS6535 and will conform to dress shirt sizing
requirements and be of a solid color.
A sample wasn't submitted for style LS100. The garment is a
man's 100% cotton woven shirt. The garment will be identical to
style LS6535 and will conform to dress shirt sizing requirements
and be of a solid color.
The applicable subheading for styles LS6535 and LS5545, will
be 6205.30.2030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' shirts: of man-made
fibers: other: other, dress: other: men's. The duty rate will be
30.2 cents per kg. and 26.9% percent ad valorem.
The applicable subheading for style LS100, will be
6205.20.2025, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's or boys' shirts: of cotton: other,
dress: other: men's. The duty rate will be 20.5% percent ad
valorem.
Styles LS6535 and LS5545 fall within textile category
designation 640. Style LS100 falls within textile category
designation 340. Based upon international textile trade agreements
products of China 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 Gerard Shea at 212-466-5878.
