RE: The tariff classification of men's knit garments from Pakistan.

Dear Ms. Turley:

In your letter, dated December 3, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, your samples will be returned.

FTL Ref# WIL 007 W8K is a man's reversible pullover garment constructed from 100 percent polyester, finely knit, drop stitch fabric which measures more than 9 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment features a low round, front neckline; a rear neckline which falls below the nape of the neck; oversized armholes; two and three-quarter inch wide shoulder straps; an embroidered logo on the left chest; and a hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for FTL Ref# WIL 007 W8K will be 6109.90.1049, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for T-shirts, singlets, tank tops, and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: mens' or boys': other.

FTL Ref# WIL 007 W8K falls within textile category designation 638. FTL Ref# WIL 006 W8L falls within textile category designation 647. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Pakistan are subject to visa requirements 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 or the control number indicated 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,

Robert B. Swierupski
