RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s vest from Taiwan

Dear Ms. Dairo:

In your letter dated April 4, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number 1307, is a woman’s vest. The vest is manufactured from knitted fleece fabric composed of 75 percent polyester and 25 percent rayon. The fabric is constructed with more than nine stitches per two centimeters measured in the horizontal direction.

The vest extends below the waist and features a full frontal opening secured by a zipper closure that extends into the top of the garment’s stand-up collar. The vest has oversized armholes and two front pockets. The vest has a straight bottom.

The submitted sample will be returned under separate cover.

The applicable subheading for the vest will be 6110.30.3035, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and similar articles, knitted or crochetedof man-made fibersotherothervests, other than sweater vestswomen’s or girls’. The rate of duty will be 32.9 percent ad valorem.

The garment falls within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

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. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations 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 inspection 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 the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

Sincerely,

Joseph Rivera
Acting Port Director
Miami Service Port
