RE: The tariff classification of knit T-shirt and knit pullover from the Northern Mariana Islands.

Dear Mr. Vance:

In your letter dated April 25, 1991, you requested a ruling on the tariff classification, country of origin marking, and special tariff treatment of garments imported from the Northern Mariana Islands.

Style 1652RV is a woman's T-shirt which is constructed from 100% cotton, finely knit jersey fabric. The garment has a knit crew neckline, short hemmed sleeves, a patch pocket on the left breast, and a hemmed bottom.

Style 9460-A is a man's pullover garment which is constructed from 100% cotton, finely knit, pique fabric. The garment has a wide, loose fitting body and features a rib knit crew neckline; dropped shoulders; short, loose fitting, hemmed sleeves; a patch pocket on the left chest; and a hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the style 1652RV will be 6109.10.0040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's T-shirts. The rate of duty will be 21 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the style 9460-A will be 6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for men's sweaters pullovers and similar garments. The rate of duty will be 20.7 percent ad valorem.

In your submission, you also requested information concerning the country of origin marking and special tariff treatment of merchandise made in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas. These questions have been referred to U.S. Customs Headquarters, Office of Regulations and Rulings for a response.

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
