Dear Mr. Kelly:

This replaces the letter we sent you on March 20, 2000, under the same file number.

In your letter dated February 14,2000,on behalf of your client, Jones Apparel Group USA, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

The garment extends below the waist and features long sleeves with cuffs; and a shawl collar that extends to the rib bottom.

The applicable subheading for the coat will be 6102.10.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) which provides for women’s or girls’overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets),windbreakers and similar articles,knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6104: of wool or fine animal hair.

Style C1CN16228 falls within textile category designation 435 and style C1CN26378 falls within textile category designation 446. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products from Hong Kong are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The samples will be returned.

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.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 control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
