RE: The tariff classification of a scrub shirt and pants from China.

Dear Mr. Zou:

In your letter dated November 23, 1999, you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted samples are a scrub shirt and pants composed of woven 55% cotton/ 45% polyester fabric. The shirt has cap sleeves, “V” neckline with no opening at the front and an inside and outside breast pockets. The long pants have a drawstring waist and an inside and outside pocket at the back.

The applicable subheading for the scrub shirt will be 6206.30.3040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Women’s or girls’ blouses, shirts and shit-blouses: Of cotton: Other: Other, Other: Women’s.” The duty rate will be 15.9% ad valorem for 1999 and 15.8% for the year 2000.

The applicable subheading for the scrub pants will be 6204.62.4020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Women’s or girls’ suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: Of cotton: Other: Other, Trousers and breeches: Women’s: Other.” The duty rate will be 17.2% ad valorem for 1999 and 17% for the year 2000.

The scrub shirt falls within textile category designation 341 and the scrub pants within 348. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China 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.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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 212-637-7084.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
