RE: The tariff classification of a woman's blouse from Turkey.

Dear Mr. Wong:

In your letter dated October 30, 1997 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The garment submitted, Style 66461, is a woman's sleeveless blouse constructed of a woven 100% cotton fabric. The blouse features a full front opening secured by a four buttoned closure, a rib knit shirt collar and a hemmed bottom. The garment has two self fabric ties sewn into two side seams in the back that tie in the back. The sample submitted for Customs examination will be returned to you under separate cover.

The applicable subheading for the blouse will be 6206.30.3040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirtblouses: of cotton: other: other: other: women's. The rate of duty will be 16.1 percent ad valorem.

The blouse falls within textile category designation 341. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Turkey are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

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. 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 the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

Sincerely,

Carol Rackley
Service Port Director
