RE: The tariff classification of a men's knit pullover from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Dairo:

In your letter dated July 30, 1996, you requested a tariff clas- sification ruling. Your sample will be returned.

Style 5S806 is a men's pullover constructed from 100 percent cotton, rib knit fabric containing 11 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment features a rib knit crew neckline; long sleeves with self-finished cuffs; and a self-finished bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style 5S806 will be 6110.20.2065, 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: other: men's. The duty rate will be 19.9 percent ad valorem

Style 5S806 falls within textile category designation 338. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints. 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 (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should or the control number listed above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.

Sincerely,

Roger J. Silvestri
Director
