RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit sweater from Thailand

Dear Ms. Koduri:

In your letter dated October 21, 1998, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of importer Eddie Bauer.

The submitted sample, style #010-4294 (regular) or #010-4295 (petite) or #010-4296 (tall), is a woman’s sweater constructed from 100% cotton knit fabric. The fabric is constructed with nine or fewer stitches per two centimeters measured in the horizontal direction. The sweater is tunic length and extends from the neck to approximately mid thigh of the wearer. The garment has a v-neckline, long sleeves, and a straight bottom with side vents.

The submitted sample will be returned under separate cover.

The applicable subheading for the sweater will be 6110.20.2020, 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: women’s. The rate of duty will be 19% ad valorem.

The sweater falls within textile category designation 345. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Thailand are subject to quota and to 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,

(Signed by)
Jayson P. Ahern
Port Director
