RE: The tariff classification of women's blouses from Hong Kong

Dear Mr. Richardson:

This is in response to your letter dated January 10, 1995, in which you request a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Jalate, Limited, 1675 South Alameda, Los Angeles, California.

The submitted samples, style number 270-I10 and style number 477-I29, are women's sleeveless blouses which are manufactured from 100 percent cotton, yarn-dyed woven fabric.

The blouses extend to the waist and feature full frontal openings that are secured by four button closures. The garments have pointed collars, V-necklines; and simulated chest pockets. The two front panels of the blouses are pointed at the bottom.

The submitted samples will be returned under separate cover.

The applicable subheading for style number 270-I10 and style number 477-I29 will be 6206.30.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses: of cotton: other: other: with two or more colors in the warp and/or the filling. The rate of duty will be 16.3 percent ad valorem.
The blouses fall within textile category designation 341. As a product of Hong Kong, this merchandise is presently subject to a visa requirement based upon international textile trade agreements.

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 entry documents are filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

/signed/

D. Lynn Gordon
District Director
