RE: The tariff classification of brassieres from Indonesia.

Dear Ms. Applegate:

In your letter dated May 12, 1994, you requested a classification ruling.

You have submitted three samples. Style 0854 (202-340) is a 46% cotton, 46% nylon and 8% spandex sports brassiere. The garment features a complete liner which is sewn to the neckline and armholes. The loose footed liner has molded cups and heavy elasticized banding on the bottom. Just above the elastic is a 3/4" wide mesh insert.

Style 0809 (205-159) is a 100% polyester brassiere. The brassiere features jacquard knit openwork fabric inserts on the top half of the cups. The garment also features a bra-type hook and eye back closure, a small bow in the center of the cups, adjustable shoulder straps and an underwire.

Style 0808 (202-375) is a 100% polyester brassiere. The brassiere features jacquard knit openwork fabric inserts on the top half of the cups. The garment also features a bra-type double hook and eye back closure, an underwire, a small bow between the cups and adjustable shoulder straps.

The applicable subheading for styles 0854 (202-340), 0809 (205-159) and 0808 (202-375) will be 6212.10.2020, HTS, which provides for brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted: brassieres: other, of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 18 percent ad valorem.

All styles fall within textile category designation 649. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Indonesia are subject to quota restraints and visa requirements.

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
