RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s sweater from China

Dear Ms. Bosseckert:

In your letter dated November 16, 2000, on behalf of Unique Sourcing International, Ltd., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number 1172, is a woman’s pullover style sweater that is constructed from 55% ramie, 45% cotton, openwork crocheted and jersey knit fabric. The crocheted fabric of the front panel is lined with jersey knit fabric. The crocheted sleeves are not lined. The back panel is constructed from jersey knit fabric. The sweater features a V-neckline and long sleeves. The sleeves and the front panel have decorative beadwork designs.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The essential character of the sweater is imparted by the crocheted front and sleeves, Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), Rule 3, noted.

The applicable subheading for the sweater will be 6110.90.9042, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s sweaters, crocheted: of other textile materials: other. The duty rate will be 6% ad valorem for the year 2000 and 2001.

The sweater falls within textile category designation 845. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of 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 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 Mike Crowley at 212-637-7077.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
