RE: The tariff classification of men's knit vests from Thailand.

Dear Mr. Meighan:

In your letter dated February 4, 1999, you requested a tariff classifi?cation ruling. As requested, your samples will be returned.

Styles 7S802 and 7S803 are men’s vests constructed from 100 percent cotton, 1x1 rib knit fabric which measures 16 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. Styles 7S802 and 7S803 have oversized armholes; a V-neckline; rib knit edging at the neckline and armholes; and a self-finished bottom.

The applicable subheading for Styles 7S802 and 7S803 will be 6110.20.2030, Har?monized 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: other: vests, other than sweater vests: men's or boys'. The duty rate will be 18.6 percent ad valorem.

Styles 7S802 and 7S803 fall within textile category designation 359. Based upon in?ter?national textile trade agree?ments, products of Thailand are subject to a visa re?quire?ment and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the sub?ject mer?chan?dise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of in?ter??na?tion??al bilateral agreements which are sub?ject to frequent re?ne?go?ti?a?tions 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 inspec?tion 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 this ruling letter or the control number indicated above should be attached to the entry docu?ments filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-637-7081.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
