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

Dear Ms. Kittel:

In your letter dated August 18, 2003, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Target Stores. As requested, your sample will be returned.

Style 97649 is a men’s pullover garment constructed from a laminated fabric consisting of an inner and an outer layer of 100 percent polyester, finely knit pile fabric bonded to a middle layer of plastic film. Style 97649 features a self-fabric stand-up collar; a partial front opening with a zippered closure; long, hemmed sleeves; two zippered pockets below the waist; and a straight, hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style 97649 will be 6110.30.3050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: other: men’s or boys’. The rate of duty will be 32.2 per cent ad valorem.

Style 97649 falls within textile category designation 638. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Indonesia are subject to visa requirements and 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 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 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.
