RE: The tariff classification of work suspenders from the Philippines.

Dear Mr. Gonzalez:

In your letter dated March 15, 2000, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Custom Leather Craft Manufacturing Company.

Two samples were provided for review. Style 110USA are work suspenders constructed of 2 inch wide adjustable elasticized cotton straps with metal hooks at each end. The work suspenders will also be available as Style 110BLK made with polypropylene webbing straps.

The applicable subheading for style 110USA will be 6212.90.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted: other . . . of cotton or cotton and rubber or plastics.. The duty rate will be 6.8 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style 110BLK will be 6212.90.0030, HTS, which provides for Brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted: other . . . of man-made fibers or man-made fibers and rubber or plastics.. The duty rate will be 6.8 percent ad valorem.

Style 110USA falls within textile category designation 359, and style 110BLK falls within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of the Philippines 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 Brian Burtnik at 212-637-7083.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
