RE: The tariff classification of women's wearing apparel from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore

Dear Mr. Sanichar:

The submitted samples are constructed from 70 percent rayon/30 percent polyester woven fabric.

The applicable subheading for the blouses of styles 6501492 and 6501493 will be 6206.40.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: women's.

The duty rate will be 16.9 percent ad valorem.

The blouses fall within textile category designation 641 and the skirts fall in category 642. Based upon international trade agreements products of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel categories 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
New York Seaport
