RE: The tariff classification of woman's trousers from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Bergamini:

In your letter dated March 27, 1997, you requested a classification ruling.

The sample submitted, style number 170-972174, is a pair of woman's trousers constructed from a 98% cotton\2% other fibers, denim woven fabric. The trousers are high-waisted and have a back rise that forms a triangle with sewn-in suspenders that attach to the front by means of metal clips and buttons. The garment has a side zipper closure. There are lace inserts on the front and back rises. The sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the garment will be 6204.62.4010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for women's trousers of blue denim cotton. The duty rate will be 17.4% ad valorem.

The garment falls within textile category designation 348. As a product of Hong Kong, this merchandise is subject to export license and quota requirements based upon international textile trade agreements.

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 Part 177 of the Customs Regulations.

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,

John J. Martuge
