RE: The tariff classification of a woman's knit jumper from Macau.

Dear Ms. Lewis :

In your letter dated November 5,1990, you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number 1894, is a woman's knit jumper constructed of 100% cotton fabric. The garment extends from the neck and shoulder area to the mid-calf area. The jumper is sleeveless and features a V-neckline, shoulder straps, a back opening with seven button closures, oversized armholes, and a dropped waistline. The armholes are too deep for the jumper to be worn without another garment under it.

As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.

The applicable subheading for the jumper will be 6114.20.0015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's knit jumpers of cotton. The rate of duty will be 11.5 percent ad valorem.

The jumper falls within textile category designation 359. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Macau are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.

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 Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

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,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
