Dear Mr. Spoto:

In your letter dated March 28, 2002, on behalf of Summit Ridge Corp., 215 West 40th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10018, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You submitted two samples of women’s pullover sweaters. The outer surface of the sweaters measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction.

The outer surface of the front panel measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The sweater features a square neckline, long sleeves with ribbed edging and a rib knit bottom (front and back panels).

The essential character of style 82-2466 is given by the front cable knit panel; Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), Rule 3, noted.

Your samples are being returned.

Style 82-2462 falls within textile category designation 446. Style 82-2466 falls in category 345. 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.
