RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s sweater from Hong Kong and China

Dear Mr. Julich:

In your letter dated November 22, 2002, on behalf of Starlo Fashions, 1001 Sixth Ave., NY, NY 10018, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style “Illusion Lace”, is a woman’s sleeveless pullover sweater that is constructed from 75% rayon, 25% nylon, openwork lace fabric (front panel) and 85% silk, 15% nylon, jersey knit fabric (back panel). The front panel is lined with 100% silk knit fabric. The garment features a round neckline and a tubular hemmed bottom.

The essential character of the garment is given by the openwork lace fabric; Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), Rule 3, noted.

Your sample is being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the sweater will be 6110.30.3020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, knitted: of man made fibers: other: other: sweaters: women’s. The duty rate will be 32.4% ad valorem for 2002; 32.2% ad valorem for 2003.

The garment falls within textile category designation 646. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong and China 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 646-733-3049.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
