RE: The tariff classification of a men's sweater from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Meighan:

In your letter dated June 3, 1999, you requested a tariff classifi?cation ruling. As requested, your sample will be returned.

Style 8S804 is a men’s sweater constructed from 55 percent ramie, 45 percent cotton, double knit fabric which measures 8 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. Style 8S804 features a rib knit crew neckline; long sleeves with rib knit cuffs; and a rib knit bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style 8S804 will be 6110.90.9024, Har?monized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of other textile materials: other: sweaters for men or boys: other: other: other. The duty rate will be 6 percent ad valorem.

Style 8S804 falls within textile category designation 845. Based upon in?ter?national textile trade agree?ments, products of Hong Kong 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 inspec?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
