RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s halter-top from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. De Silva:

In your letter dated February 7, 2006, you requested a classification ruling. The submitted sample will be returned to you as requested.

Style PP 299612 is a woman’s halter-top constructed from 100 percent rayon woven fabric. The garment features a V-neckline, straps that fasten at the nape of the neck, an empire waist and a smocked upper back. The neckline, waist and straps are embellished with sequins and decorative stitching. The garment does not provide sufficient coverage of the shoulders and upper back.

The applicable subheading for the halter-top will be 6211.43.0091, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments, women’s or girls’: of man-made fibers: other. The duty rate will be 16 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

The halter-top falls within textile category designation 659. 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 Patricia Schiazzano at 646-733-3051.
