RE: The tariff classification of women’s knit garments from Taiwan.

Dear Ms. Smith:

In your letter dated December 15, 1999, you requested a classification ruling for four women’s knit garments. The samples are being returned, as you requested.

The tank top has a U-shaped neckline in front and back; 1 ¾ inch shoulder straps; an inner bra type liner; and a hemmed bottom. The garment extends past the waist.

Style 222183 is a woman’s top constructed from 58% nylon, 34% polyester, 8% spandex pique knit fabric. The top has a U-shaped neckline in front and back; ¼ inch shoulder straps; an inner bra type liner; and a hemmed bottom. The garment does not reach the waist.

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).
