RE: The tariff classification of a woman's vest from China

Dear Ms. Brown:

In your letter dated August 10, 1994, you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style 6577, is a vest constructed from fabric that is 55 percent linen and 45 percent rayon. The vest features oversized armholes, a V-neckline and a full front opening secured by four buttons. The vest also features novelty back tie. The applicable subheading for the vest will be 6211.49.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments, women's or girls': of other textile materials: other: vests. The duty rate will be 7.8 percent ad valorem.

The vest falls within textile category designation 859. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to a visa requirement.

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
