RE: The classification of a women’s pullover form Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Burgos:

In your letter dated October 2, 2000, on behalf of I.K.L. International, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style number 69902 is a women’s 94% cotton, 6% spandex knitted pullover. The garment features a ribbed knit cowl neck, sleeves that are ¾ length, a ribbed knit bottom. The garment is constructed of over 9 stitches per two centimeters measured in the horizontal direction.

The applicable subheading for the pullover will be 6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats, (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’. The rate of duty will be 18.2 percent ad valorem.

The pullover falls within textile category designation 339. 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
