RE: The tariff classification of women’s woven upper body garments from China or Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Hodur:

In your letter dated December 10, 1999, you requested a classification ruling. This letter replaces NY F80891 issued to you on December 27, 1999. You have notified us that there was an incorrect style number in the ruling issued. That error has been corrected in the text below.

Style GD774X3012 is a woman’s upper body garment constructed from 60 percent linen and 40 percent cotton woven fabric. The garment features a V-neckline with a self-fabric tie, ¼ inch wide shoulder straps and an elasticized bottom. The back top edge is cut straight across from side seam to side seam.

Style GD16NX3013 is a woman’s upper body garment constructed from 100 percent linen woven fabric. The pullover blouse is sleeveless and features elasticized arm openings and a partially elasticized, drawstring neckline. The back of the garment is made from two panels sewn together in an asymmetrical manner leaving a triangular cutout approximately two thirds of the area. The garment provides insufficient coverage to be considered a blouse.

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).
