RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s sweater from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Clare:

In your letter dated February 12, 2007, on behalf of Stewart Brown, 955 E Front St., Ventura, CA 93001, you requested a classification ruling. Your sample is being returned as requested.

The submitted sample, style number 50501, is a woman’s sleeveless tank style sweater that is constructed from 100% cotton tight crochet fabric (the upper portion) and open work crochet fabric (the lower portion). The outer surface of the fabrics measures 9 or fewer stitches per 2 centimeters in the direction that the stitches were formed. The sweater features 2 ½ inch wide crochet shoulder straps, a square back and front, a full front opening with 5 button closures on the upper portion of the garment and a scallop bottom edge.

The applicable subheading for the sweater will be 6110.20.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, knitted: of cotton: women’s. The duty rate will be 16.5% 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 sweater falls within textile category 345. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.

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).
