RE: The tariff classification of men's knit garments from Taiwan.

The body of the jacket is lined with 100 percent polyester mesh fabric and the sleeves are lined with 100 percent nylon woven fabric. Item# JC-11 features a full front opening with a zipper closure and an inside wind flap; a self-fabric convertible collar with an underside of nylon woven fabric; long sleeves with fabric covered elastic cuffs; two zippered slant pockets below the waist; an inside chest pocket; 100 percent nylon woven fabric overlays on the rear yoke and shoulders and on the lower portion of each sleeve below the elbow; and a drawcord bottom with two pulls.

The applicable subheading for Item# JC-11 will be 6101.30.2010, Har?monized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: men’s or boys’ overcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: men's.

The applicable subheading for Item# JC-10 will be 6101.30.3050, Har?monized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: other: men’s or boys’. The rate of duty will be 33.1 percent ad valorem.

Item# JC-11 falls within textile category designation 634. Item# JC-10 falls within textile category designation 638. Based upon in?ter?national textile trade agree?ments, products of Tawain are subject to a visa re?quire?ment and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the sub?ject mer?chan?dise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of in?ter??na?tion??al bilateral agreements which are sub?ject to frequent re?ne?go?ti?a?tions 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 in?spec?tion 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 docu?ments filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding this ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 212-637-7081.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
