RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit top from China.

Dear Mr. LoPresti:

In your letter dated February 15, 2005, on behalf of your client Cherry Stix, Ltd., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, Style #13821/6015/6016, is a woman’s top constructed from 95% cotton, and 5% spandex knit fabric. The sleeveless garment extends to the waist and features a V-neckline in front with lace trim, elasticized adjustable shoulder straps, a padded lining at the bust, and a hemmed bottom. The upper portion of the back extends straight across from side seam to side seam.

The applicable subheading for the top, Style 13821/6015/6016, will be 6114.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, knitted or crocheted, of cotton, tops, women’s or girls’. The rate of duty will be 10.8% ad valorem.

Style 13821/6015/6016 falls within textile category designation 339. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” available at our web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, you will find current information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at otexa.ita.doc.gov.

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 Angela DeGaetano at (646) 733-3052.
