RE: The tariff classification of a man's knit jacket from Malaysia.

Dear Mr. Stack:

In your letter dated December 16, 1991, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Roytex, Inc.

Style No. 271407 is a man's short sleeved jacket which is constructed from 65 percent polyester, 35 percent cotton, French terry fabric. The garment features a convertible pointed collar; a full front opening with a zipper that extends to the end of the convertible collar; slanted welt pockets; short sleeves with rib knit cuffs; and a rib knit waistband.

As requested, your sample will be returned.

The applicable HTS subheading for the sample will be 6101.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6103: of man-made fibers: other: men's. The duty rate will be 30 percent ad valorem.

This garment falls within textile category designation 634. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Malaysia are subject to visa requirements 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
