RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit sweater from China

Dear Ms. Fagundes:

In your letter dated October 25, 2005, you requested a classification ruling. As requested, your sample is being returned to you. This office notes that the production sample you provided with your ruling request appears to contain metallic yarn. You have stated in your letter, however, that style 62122778 will not contain any lurex yarns and will be constructed from 100% rayon fabric. Please note that any change to that fiber content can potentially change the classification and result in this ruling becoming invalid.

Your sample, style 62122778, is a woman’s sweater constructed from 100% rayon knit openwork fabric. The sweater features a V-shaped neckline, cap sleeves, and a 100% polyester lining.

The applicable subheading for style 62122778 will be 6110.30.3020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: other: sweaters: women. The duty rate will be 32% ad valorem.

Style 62122778 falls within textile category designation 646. 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.

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 Camille R. Ferraro at 646-733-3049.

Sincerely,
