RE: The classification of a women’s tank top from Cambodia.

Dear Ms. Henry:

In your letter dated December 21, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style number 3284 is a women’s 100% cotton knit tank top. The tank top extends from the shoulders to below the waist. It features straps under two inches in width, a square neck in the front and back, slightly oversized close fitting armholes and a straight hemmed bottom.

Your sample is returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the tank top will be 6109.10.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Women’s or girl’s: Tank tops: Women’s. The rate of duty will be 18.3 percent ad valorem.

The tank top falls within textile category designation 339. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Cambodia are subject to quota and the requirements of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web Site at WWW.CUSTOMS.USTREAS.GOV. In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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.

Sincerely,

Larry D. Lewis
Acting Port Director
Boston, Massachusetts
