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

Dear Ms. Cheung:

In your letter dated April 8, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style 27-21435, is a womens sweater, which is knit from 38% acrylic 33% cotton 27% wool and 2% other fiber yarn. The sweater has fewer than nine stitches per two centimeters when counted in the horizontal direction and features a turtle neck and a rib knit bottom.

As requested, your sample will be returned to you.

The applicable subheading for the sweater will be 6110.30.1520, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for womens man-made fiber sweaters containing 23% or more by weight of wool. The rate of duty will be 17%.

The sweater falls within textile category designation 446. 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
