RE: The tariff classification of a men’s knit pullover from Honduras.

Dear Ms. Disher:

In your letter dated April 19, 2002, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, your sample will be returned.

Style S303 is a men’s pullover garment constructed from heavy weight, jersey knit fabric that measures 24 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The fiber content will be 100 percent cotton, in white, pastel, and dark colors; and 90 percent cotton, 10 percent polyester in medium gray heather. Style S303 features a rib knit crew neckline; a triangular overlay on the center front panel below the neckband; short, hemmed sleeves; an embroidered logo on the left chest; a woven fabric label on the left sleeve; and a straight, hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style S303 will be 6110.20.2065, 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: other: other: men's or boys'. The rate of duty will be 17.3 percent ad valorem.

Style S303 falls within textile category designation 338. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Honduras are not presently subject to visa requirements or quota restraints.

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 this ruling letter 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 this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 646-733-3271.

Sincerely,
