RE: The tariff classification of a women’s crocheted sweater from China

Dear Ms. Schaeffer:

In your letter dated July 28, 2005, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Bernard Chaus.

You submitted a sample of a crocheted sweater identified as style 8365203. The pullover garment, whose outer shell is made of 62% cotton and 38% rayon openwork fabric, features shoulder straps measuring approximately one inch in width. The entire body of the openwork crocheted garment is lined with 55% polyester and 45% rayon finely knit fabric. Your garment will be returned as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for style 8365203 will be 6110.20.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Sweaters, pulloversand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Other: Other: Sweaters: Women’s. The duty rate will be 16.5% ad valorem.

Style 8365203 falls within textile category designation 345. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” available at our web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, you will find current information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at otexa.ita.doc.gov.
