RE: The tariff classification of a woman's suit from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Purcell:

In your letter dated March 12, 2004, you requested a ruling on tariff classification. The submitted sample will be returned to you as requested.

Style A01209 is a woman’s suit constructed from 63 percent polyester, 33 percent rayon 4 percent spandex woven fabric. The jacket features long hemmed sleeves, a collar, shoulder pads, a lining, two patch pockets below the waist with flaps and a full front opening secured by five metal closures. The pants feature a waistband with a side button and zipper closure and long hemmed legs.

The applicable subheading for style A01209 will be 6204.13.2010, 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): suits: of synthetic fibers: other: women’s. The rate of duty will be 35.3 cents /kg + 25.9 percent ad valorem.

Style A01209 falls within textile category designation 644. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are currently subject to quota restraints 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.).

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,
