RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit top from Korea.

Dear Ms. Julia:

In your letter dated July 9, 2004, you requested a classification ruling for a woman’s knit garment.

The submitted sample, Style #S05-16-099, is a woman’s top constructed from 55% ramie, and 45% cotton knit fabric. The sleeveless top extends to the waist and features ¾ inch should straps, a modified U-shaped neckline in front and a rib knit bottom. The upper portion of the back of the garment is essentially cut straight across from side seam to side seam. The upper portion of the front panel, as well as the should straps, are crocheted

We are returning your sample as you requested.

The applicable subheading for Style S05-16-099 will be 6114.90.9010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, knitted or crocheted of other textile materials, other, tops. The rate of duty will be 5.6% ad valorem.

Style S05-16-099 falls within textile category designation 838. Based upon international textile trade agreements this category, from China is presently not subject to quota restraints 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. 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 Angela De Gaetano at 646-733-3052.
