RE: The tariff classification of a girl's raincoat from China.
Dear Mr. Paciaffi:
In your letter dated November 27, 1998, on behalf of your
client Pyramid Accessories, you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The submitted sample , which does not have a style number,
is a girl's raincoat. The item has a polyvinyl chloride clear
plastic shell that is bonded to a woven, yarn dyed cotton striped
lining. The raincoat features a hood and a full front opening
secured by four metal snaps. The sample submitted is a size 6.
Your letter did not indicate the size(s) in which the
garment will be imported. We
assume, for the purposes of classification, that the garment will
be imported in girls' sizes 7-16.
We are returning your sample as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the Raincoat, no style #
indicated will be 6210.30.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for garments, made up of
fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907, other
garments, of the type described in subheadings 6202.11 to
6202.19, other, other, other. The duty rate will be 6.4% ad
valorem.
Effective January 1, 1999, the rate of duty will remain the
same.
The raincoat falls within textile category designation 335.
Based upon textile trade agreements, products of China are
presently subject to quota restraints and visa requirements.
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 (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 Bruce
Kirschner at 212-466-5865.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Swierupski
Director
National Commodity
Specialist Division
