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

Dear Ms. Muoio:

In your letter dated October 28, 1993, on behalf of Jones New York, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style number 90628 is a woman's sleeveless cardigan constructed from 100% cotton, 1X1 rib knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters, measured in the horizontal direction. The cardigan features a V-neckline; a full frontal opening with a 5 button closure; and 2 side slits.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be 6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's sweaters, pullovers...and similar articles, knitted: of cotton: other. The rate of duty will be 20.7% ad valorem .

The cardigan falls within textile category designation 339. 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 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
