RE: The tariff classification of a women's knit cardigan from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Brown:

This replaces the binding ruling letter issued to you under an incomplete number as PD 84596. The correct reference is PD A84596. We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.

In your letter dated June 7, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, Style # P5WD194, is a women's cardigan composed of 98% wool 2% spandex finely knit fabric. The sleeves, collar and patch pockets are composed of rib knit fabric. The cardigan features a full frontal opening with a zipper closure; waist length; and a hemmed bottom. Per your request, your sample is returned herewith.

The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be 6110.10.2080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of wool or fine animal hair: other: other: women's or girls'. The rate of duty will be 16.8% ad valorem.

The cardigan falls within textile category designation 438. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

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.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
