RE: The tariff classification of a woman's garment from

Honduras.

Dear Mr. Chubb:

In your letter dated May 26, 1998, you requested a classification ruling .

Style2282 has been submitted. Style 2282 is a woman's pair of shorts constructed from 100% rayon woven fabric. This pull-on garment features a partially elasticized waistband in the back, two inset side pockets and small pleats in the front . When this garment is worn an viewed from the front the leg separation is apparent. As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.

The applicable subheading for style 2282 will be 6204.69.2540, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated , which provides for women's or girls' trousers...and shorts, of artificial fibers other, shorts, women. The duty rate will be 29.7% ad valorem.

Style 2282 falls within textile category designation 648. As a product of Honduras this merchandise is not currently subject to visa or quota requirements based upon international textile trade agreements.

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.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,


Previous Ruling Next Ruling
