RE: The tariff classification of a men’s knit pullover garment from China.

Dear Ms. Johnson:

In your letter dated February 19, 1999, you requested a tariff clas?si?fi??ca?tion ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned.

Style 93X290-46 is a pullover garment constructed from 100 percent cotton, finely knit jersey fabric. You state in your correspondence that Style 93X290-46 is a men’s garment and that the garment will be imported in sizes S, M, L, and XL. The sample is oversized and features a wide loose fiting body; a rib knit crew neckline; short, hemmed sleeves; and a straight, hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style 93X290-46 will be 6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles,?? knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: men's or boys’. The duty rate will be 18.6 percent ad valorem.

Style 93X290-46 falls within textile category designation 338. Based upon international tex?tile trade agreements, products of China 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 Cur?rent 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 listed above should be provided with 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 212-637-7081.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
National Commodity
