RE: The tariff classification of men's knit pants from China.

Dear Mr. Ralston:

In your letter, dated March 30, 1998, on behalf of Jay-Gur Import Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned.

Style 45683-01 is a pair of men's pants constructed from 100 percent polyester finely knit fabric. The pants feature a fabric covered elastic waistband with buttoned closures at each side; nine snap closures extending the full length on the outside of each leg; and hemmed leg openings.

The applicable subheading for Style 45683-01 will be 6103.43.1520, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: men's or boys'...trousers,..., knitted or crocheted: of synthetic fibers: other: trousers and breeches: men's. The duty rate will be 29.3 percent ad valorem.

Style 45683-01 falls within textile category designation 647. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to visa requirements and quota restraints. 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 this ruling letter or the control number indicated above should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-466-5877.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director
