RE: The tariff classification of a woman's cotton denim jacket from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Bergamini:

In your letter dated May 19, 1998, you requested a classification ruling.

The sample submitted, style number 170-982059, is a woman's jacket constructed of a woven 100% cotton denim fabric. You indicate in your letter that the fabric weight of the jacket exceeds 10 ounces per square yard.

The jacket has a pointed collar and a full front opening secured by five right-over-left button closures. There are two chest pockets with flaps that feature a lace overlay and have a one button closure, long sleeves with a one-button closure on the sleeve cuffs and a straight bottom hem. On the garment's back panel there is a v-shaped lace insert below the yoke.

The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6202.92.2061, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other women's anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles, of cotton. The duty rate will be 9.3 percent ad valorem.

The jacket falls within textile category designation 335. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are presently subject to quota restraints 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 merchandise may be subject to an ITC Exclusion Order dealing with denim garments produced by certain acid wash methods. For further information on admissibility you should contact your local Customs office. This ruling applies to the classification of the merchandise and not to its admissibility under the terms of the exclusion order.

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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist W. Raftery at 212-466-5851.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
