RE: The tariff classification of a pair of women's knit shorts from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. White:

In your letter dated October 17, 1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number 100, is a pair of women's shorts constructed from a 54% cotton/ 36% polyester/ 10% spandex knit fabric. You stated in your letter that these garments will be imported during the early part of 1992. The garment extends to slightly above the knee and features an elastic waistband, and a gusset in the crotch. We cannot issue a ruling on style number 117 since we did not receive a sample of that garment.

The sample is being returned as you requested.

Effective January 1, 1992 the clssification for style number 100 will be 6104.62.2030 Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's knit shorts of cotton. The rate of duty will be 16.7 percent ad valorem.

Style number 100 falls within textile category designation 348. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan 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
