RE: The tariff classification of women's boiled wool knit suit-type jackets from Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Codignotto:
In your letter dated April 2, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling on behalf of Xtrmz, Ltd.
The samples submitted, style numbers PF 285 and H 136, are
women's suit-type jackets constructed from a 100% boiled wool,
knit fabric. Style number PF 285 has a full-front
double-breasted opening secured by four buttons. The garment is
tailored and has long sleeves and a notched lapel. The jacket
has two back panels, two side panels and two front panels. The
edges of the garment are finished with knit stitching. Style
number H 136 has a full-front opening with a five button closure.
The jacket is tailored and has long sleeves, a notched lapel and
two front pockets located beneath the waist. The jacket has four
front panels and one back panel.
The applicable subheading for the garments will be
6104.31.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
which provides for women's suit-type jackets, knitted or
crocheted of wool. The duty rate will be 18.4% ad valorem +
62.9 cents/kilogram.
The jackets fall within textile category designation 435.
As products of Hong Kong, these garments are subject to quota and
export licensing requirements based upon international textile
trade agreements.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status
Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for
inspection at your local Customs office.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations.
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
John J. Martuge
Area Director
JFK Airport
