Dear Ms. Kuza:

In your letter dated January 30, 2002, on behalf of Newton Buying Corp. and Marshalls of MA, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted two samples. Style 4244JRF2 is a woman’s sweater that is constructed from 48% wool, 30% nylon, 22% acrylic, 1x1 rib knit fabric. The outer surface of the sweater measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The sweater extends from the shoulder to the calf area and features the following: a pointed collar, long sleeves, a full front opening with a 3 button closure and a self fabric tie belt.

Style 4250JRF2 is a woman’s sweater that is constructed from 100% acrylic, knit fabric. The outer surface of the sweater measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The sweater extends from the shoulder to the calf area and features the following: a notched lapel collar, long sleeves with 2 button cuffs, a full front opening with 6 button closures and a hemmed bottom.

Your samples are being returned as requested.

Style 4244JRF2 falls within textile category designation 446. Style 4250JRF2 falls in category 646. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Taiwan 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.

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 646-733-3049.
