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

Dear Ms. Teague:

In your letter dated September 8, 2006, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Quality Worldwide, Inc. As requested, your sample is being returned to you.

In your letter, you describe Style ZGPF121E12 as a woman’s jacket constructed from 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester. The cut and sewn garment is of finely knit fleece like sweatshirt material napped on the interior of the garment. It features a full front opening with a zippered closure, a hood, two front pockets, long sleeves with rib cuffs and thumb hole and a rib knit bottom.

The applicable subheading for style ZGPF121E12 will be 6102.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s or girls’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets) windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6104: Of cotton. The duty rate will be 15.9% ad valorem.

Tariff number 6102.20.0010 falls within textile category 335. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.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).

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,

Robert B. Swierupski
