RE: The tariff classification of two women’s knit pullovers from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Spiegel:

This is a replacement letter for classification ruling letter, PD D81187, that was issued to you on September 16, 1998.

We refer to your letter dated February 25, 1999 where you state that there is a fiber content change for style number 5512708. The original fiber content for this style was 39% linen, 35% rayon, 26% cotton. The new fiber content is 42% rayon, 35% linen, 23% cotton.

In a letter submitted by Barthco Trade Consultants, Inc., dated September 16, 1999 and on your behalf, a tariff classification ruling was requested.

Two samples were submitted. Style 55126708 is a woman’s pullover that is constructed from 42% rayon, 35% linen, 23% cotton, finely knit fabric. The pullover features a U-shape neckline and short sleeves.

Style 842842908 is a woman’s pullover constructed from 68% silk, 16% rayon, 16% wool, finely knit fabric. The pullover features a V-shape neckline, short sleeves with rib knit sleeve ends and a rib knit bottom.

The applicable subheading for style 55126708 will be 6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s sweaters, pullovers and similar articles, knitted: of man-made fibers: other. The duty rate will be 33.1% ad valorem.

The applicable HTS subheading for style 842842908 will be 6110.90.9090, which provides for women’s sweaters, pulloversknitted: of other textile materials: other: other: other. The duty rate will be 6% ad valorem.

Style 55126708 falls within textile category designation 639. Style 842842908 falls in category 838. 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 and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web Site at WWW.CUSTOMS.USTREAS.GOV. In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mike Crowley at 212-637-7077.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
