RE: The tariff classification of a man’s jacket and a man’s pullover from Taiwan

Dear Ms. Czapp:

In your letter dated June 2, 2005, on behalf of Premiumwear, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

Two samples were submitted as follows: Style number 1240 “Metro Microsuede Jacket”, is a man’s hip-length jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven microsuede 100% polyester fabric. The jacket is lined with a woven 100% nylon fabric that is quilted in a diamond pattern to a nonwoven batting fill.

The jacket has a full front opening that is secured by a zipper closure, long sleeves with an adjustable button closure on the cuffs, two front slash pockets at the waist and three inner pockets, two of which have zipper closures. The garment also has a fold down pointed collar, a straight cut hemmed bottom and a zipper opening between the shell and the lining fabric on the inner portion of the rear panel at the bottom hem.

Style number 1585 “Micro Suede Quarter Zip Windshirt”, is a man’s hip-length pullover garment constructed of a shell composed of a double knit 60% cotton/40% polyester fabric that measures 14 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment is lined with a woven 100% nylon fabric. The pullover has a stand-up collar composed of a ribbed-knit fabric, a partial front opening at the neck secured by a zipper closure, long sleeves with ribbed-knit fabric cuffs, two side seam pockets at the waist and a ribbed-knit fabric waistband.

The samples are being returned to you as you have requested.

The jacket falls within textile category designation 634. The pullover falls within textile category designation 638. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Taiwan are presently subject to quota restraints and the requirement of a visa.

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).
