RE: The tariff classification of woman’s cardigan from China.

Dear Mr. Ramirez:

In your letter dated June 14, 2007 you requested a classification ruling on behalf of your client Pacific Teaze, Inc. As requested, your sample will be returned to you.

The submitted sample, style 8472/926032, is a woman’s cardigan that is constructed of a 100% polyester knit fabric with two 100% nylon woven overlays extending from the collar to the garment bottom at either side seam. The garment features a mock collar, long sleeves finished with a finely knit fabric capping at the bottom, a full front opening with a zipper closure, two zippered inset pockets at the waist, and a loose fitting self-fabric knit bottom. Style 8472/926032 lacks tightening at the garment bottom and cuffs, therefore, it is properly classified as a cardigan under 6110, HTSUS.

The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be 6110.30.3059, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: women’s or girls’: other. The duty rate will be 32%.

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 cardigan falls within textile category 639. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.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 Francine Vivona-Brock at 646-733-3049.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
