In your letter dated January 30, 2002, on behalf of Tropical Sportswear International you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the samples will be returned to you.

You have submitted four samples. Style 300-924-704 is the subject of file H87375 which will be separately answered.

Style 200-236-192 is a man’s 60% cotton and 40% polyester woven short. The garment features two front side pockets located at the hip area, a zippered front closure with a button at the waistband, two rear pockets with button closures and a partially elasticized waistband.

All styles fall within textile category designation 347. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of the Dominican Republic 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 Camille R. Ferraro at 646-733-3046.

Sincerely,
