RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s 95% cotton 5% spandex knitted pullover from Hong Kong and China

Dear Mr. Maher:

In your letter dated July 25, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Eurextil Import & Export. As requested, your sample will be returned.

Style No. 13333 is a woman’s 95% cotton 5% spandex knitted pullover. The sleeveless garment features no opening at the neckline with 1-1/4 inch straps. The garment narrows at the hemmed waistline.

The applicable subheading for Style No. 13333 is 6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other women’s or girls’ sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, of cotton, knitted or crocheted. The rate of duty will be 18.2%.

The pullover falls within textile category designation 339. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong and 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, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection 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.

Sincerely,

John J. Quealy
Port Director
