RE: The tariff classification of a womens sweater from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Dairo:

In your letter dated September 17, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style 0272, is a womens sweater, which is manufactured from 68% linen 32% rayon knit fabric. The garment features a full front opening secured by five buttons, a round neck and long sleeves. The garment is covered with sequins.

As requested, your sample will be returned to you.

The applicable subheading for the garment will be 6110.90.9042, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for womens sweaters, of other fibers. The rate of duty will be 6%.

The garment falls within textile category designation 845. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to quota 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 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.

Sincerely,

William J. Luebkert
Port Director
