RE: The tariff classification of a men's knit sweater vest from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Imbrogulio:

In your letter dated March 12, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned.

Style PS4141 is a men's sweater vest constructed from 100 percent cotton, knit fabric which measures nine stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment is sleeveless and features a rib knit V-neckline; oversized armholes with rib knit trim; and a rib knit bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style PS4141 will be 6110.20.2010, 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: sweaters: men's. The duty rate will be 19 percent ad valorem.

Style PS4141 falls within textile category designation 345. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong 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 in- spection 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 attached to 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
Director
