RE: The tariff classification of a man's knit vest from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Besler:

In your letter, which was received by this office on January 23, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Antigua Sportswear.

Style number 012751 is a man's vest constructed from 100 percent cotton finely knit, interlock fabric. The vest features a V-shaped neckline with cross-over rib knit edging; oversized armholes with elasticized rib knit edging; and an elasticized rib knit bottom.

As requested, your sample is being returned.

The applicable subheading for Style number 012751 will be 6110.20.2030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: vests, other than sweater vests: men's or boys'. The duty rate will be 20.3 percent ad valorem.

Style number 012751 falls within textile category designation 359. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,


Previous Ruling Next Ruling
