NY 802696 November 3, 1994 CLA-2-61:S:N5:354 802696 CATEGORY: Classification Ms. Ursula Huthofer Triumph International AG D-80232 Munchen GERMANY RE: The importation of Ladies, underwear from Russia and Belarus Dear Ms. Huthofer: In your letter dated September 19, 1994, you requested information regarding importations into the United States. You inquire about textile import quota for foundation garments and underwear manufactured in Belarus and Russia from raw materials of a) European Community, b) Belarus/Russia and c) Asian countries. Provided that the finished products are considered to be country of origin Belarus or Russia there is no import quota at this time. You have also requested information regarding certificates of origin. The Customs Regulations 12.130 indicates that textile products incorporating materials originating in one or more foreign countries shall be identified in a declaration prepared by the manufacturer, producer, exporter or importer of the textile product. In our previous letter to you dated September 9, 1994, we enclosed Customs Publication No. 517 entitled Import Requirements. We believe that booklet provides sufficient information about the requirements for customs clearance of commercial shipments to the United States. If you have further questions or wish to speak with someone you may call National Import Specialist Brian Burtnik at 212-466-5880. Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
