RE: The tariff classification of a men’s knit pullover garment from China.

Dear Ms. Chun Fu:

In your letter dated October 12, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, your sample will be returned.

The submitted garment is a men’s pullover constructed from 100 percent polyester, finely knit fabric that is napped on the inside and outside surfaces. The garment features a partial front opening with a zippered closure; a convertible collar; long sleeves with fabric covered elastic cuffs; two side seam pouch pockets below the waist; and a straight, hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the pullover will be 6110.30.3050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: other: men’s or boys’. The duty rate will be 33.1 percent ad valorem.

The garment falls within textile category designation 638. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.

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.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 this ruling letter or the control number listed above should be provided with the entry documents 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
