RE: The tariff classification of a womans knit pullover from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Wierbicki:

In your letter dated May 20, 1999, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Avon Products, Inc. located at 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY.

The submitted sample, identified by style number PP193108 and described as a  twin mock set and two in one garment, is a womans full-fashioned pullover composed of 100% acrylic jersey knit fabric. The fabric contains more than nine stitches per 2 centimeters when measured in the horizontal direction.

The garment is designed to simulate a cardigan worn over a matching pullover. The pullover garment features a round neck front inner layer permanently attached at the shoulder, armholes and side seams, a deep v-neck front outer layer having a six-button functional opening, long sleeves, and hip-length bottom. The front outer panels are decorated with embroidery yarn in a floral pattern. The sleeves, neckline, placket and bottom have tubular finishes. The sample which has been submitted with your inquiry will be returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the pullover will be 6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other ... other: womens or girls. The duty rate will be 33.1% ad valorem.

The garment falls within textile category designation 639. As a product of Hong Kong, this merchandise is subject to quota restraints and export license based upon international textile trade agreements.

The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since 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.

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

John J. Martuge
Area Director
