Both submitted garments are manufactured from 55% ramie/45% cotton fabric, which horizontally measures less than nine stitches per two centimeters. Style 81125 from Korea is a long, loose-fitting, crew-necked pullover with three-quarter sleeves and a ribbed lower edge. Style 81128 from Hong Kong is a long, loose-fitting, V- necked cardigan with long sleeves, a buttoned front opening, front pockets, and a ribbed lower edge. As you have requested, the sample garments are being returned.

The rate of duty will be 6 percent ad valorem. The garments fall within textile category designation 845. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Korea and Hong Kong are subject to a visa requirement, in addition to quota restraints from Korea. The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which 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 Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely,Jean F. MaguireArea DirectorNew York Seaport
