RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s upper body garment from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Fox:

In your letter dated August 15, 2006, you requested a classification ruling for a woman’s knit garment on behalf of Ann Taylor, Inc. The submitted sample will be returned to you, as requested.

Style 27-149721 is a woman’s upper body garment constructed from 34 percent nylon, 26 percent acrylic, 24 percent mohair, and 11 percent polyester knit fabric. The garment has short sleeves and covers the back. It has essentially no front coverage.

The applicable subheading for style 27-149721 will be 6114.30.3070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Other garments, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: women’s or girls’. The duty rate will be 14.9% 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/.

Style 27-149721 falls within textile category 659. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries. The textile category number above applies to merchandise produced in non-WTO member-countries. Quota and visa requirements are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information on quota and visa requirements applicable to this merchandise, we suggest you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” which is available on our web site at www.cbp.gov. For current information regarding possible textile safeguard actions on goods from China and related issues, we refer you to the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel of the Department of Commerce 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).
