RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s 100% cotton sweater from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Kelly:

In your letter dated January 25, 2001 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

A sample was submitted. It is style S3JAEG028, which is a woman’s upper body garment. The garment is a pullover that is composed of a front panel that is made of a 3x3 rib knit fabric that measures approximately nine stitches per two centimeters in the horizontal direction and a back panel and long sleeves that are made of a double knit fabric that measures approximately sixteen stitches per two centimeters in the horizontal direction. The pullover has a “Polo Jeans” logo on the front. It is the front panel that imparts the essential character to the pullover.

The applicable subheading for the pullover will be 6110.20.2020, 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, sweaters, women’s. The rate of duty will be 17.8 percent ad valorem.

The pullover falls within textile category designation 345. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong 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 pertaining to this matter, please contact Field National Import Specialist Patricia A. Wilson at 212-637-7565 or National Import Specialist Angela De Gaetano at 212-637-7029.

Sincerely,

Kathleen M. Haage
Area Director
