RE: The tariff classification of a woman's jacket from El Salvador and Guatemala

Dear Mr. DeLong:

In your letter dated March 2, 2004, you requested a ruling on tariff classification. The submitted sample will be returned to you as requested.

Style WF04-95 is a woman’s jacket constructed from 60 percent polyester and 40 percent rayon woven fabric. The jacket features long sleeves a notched collar, two pockets below the waist, side vents and a full front opening secured by four buttons.

The applicable subheading for style WF04-95 will be 6204.33.5010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s or girls’ suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): suit-type jackets and blazers: of synthetic fibers: other: women's. The rate of duty will be 27.3 percent ad valorem.

Style WF04-95 falls within textile category designation 635. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of El Salvador and Guatemala are not currently subject to quota or visa requirements.

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.).

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 Patricia Schiazzano at 646-733-3051.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
