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

In your letter dated May 2, 2000, you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you.

The vest features a stand up collar, a zippered full frontal opening, oversized armholes, diagonal front pockets, a straight bottom with adjustable drawcord closures and side vents. There is capping on the armholes, the top of the pockets and the garment bottoms. The vest will be imported in sizes S-M-L-XL.

The duty rate will be 18.2 percent ad valorem.

Style 871 falls within textile category designation 359. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Macau are subject to quota and the requirement 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.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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mike Crowley at 212-637-7077.
