RE: The classification of a women’s cape from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Ramia:

In your letter dated August 25, 2000, on behalf of Catherine’s, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style number 2929 is a women’s 100% acrylic knit cape. The cape drapes from the shoulders to just above the knees. It features a full frontal opening without closure and has a hemmed finished edge.

Your sample is returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the cape will be 6102.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), women’s or girls’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6104: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other. The rate of duty will be 28.9 percent ad valorem.

The cape falls within textile category designation 635. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to quota and the requirements 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.

Sincerely,

William M. McGuire
Acting Port Director
Boston, Massachusetts
