Dear Ms. Hayd:

This letter is issued to replace NY ruling J86253 which contained incorrect style numbers. The correct style numbers are 9950 and 9951. The letter with corrections follows:

In your letter dated June 13, 2003, you requested a classification ruling.

The shirt also features a full front metal zipper opening, long sleeves with buttoned cuffs, two chest pockets with buttoned flaps, a hood with a drawstring and two side pockets.

Styles YM9951 and YM9950 fall within textile category designation 340. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of India 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 Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas, which is available at our Web site at www.cbp.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.
