RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s cardigan from Hong Kong

Dear Mr. Imbrogulio:

In your letter dated April 2, 2004 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number CL90745, is a woman’s long cardigan that extends from the shoulder to the knee area. The garment is constructed from 60% wool, 22% acrylic, 18% nylon, brushed knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The cardigan features a round neckline with a one-snap button closure, long hemmed sleeves, a full front opening with a two-way zipper closure, 2 front inset slant zippered pockets in the waist area, and a hemmed bottom. Vertical overlaid strips of lambskin leather are on the neck, in the shoulder areas, on the back panel, on the sleeves, on the pockets, and on the placket.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be 6110.11.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweatersand similar articles, knitted: of wool or fine animal hair: of wool: other: women’s. The rate of duty will be 16% ad valorem.

The cardigan falls within textile category designation 438. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong 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 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.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 Mike Crowley at 646-733-3049.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
