Dear Mr. Vosailagi:

In your letter dated October 13, 1998, on behalf of Ghim Li Fashion (Fiji) Ltd., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Five of your fifteen samples will be answered by this office and will be returned as requested.

The outer surface of the pullovers measure more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. Style W510(GL7428) is sleeveless and is made from 100% cotton, knit fabric. It features a mock turtleneck, and a hemmed bottom.

Style 512299WS (GL7369) is made from 95% cotton, 5% spandex, rib knit fabric and features a mock turtleneck, short hemmed sleeves, and a hemmed bottom.

The five pullovers fall within textile category designation 339. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of the Republic of Fiji are subject to quota restrictions but are not subject to visa requirements.

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 Section 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 Mike Crowley at 212-466-5852.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director
