The submitted sample, style F00-14-111 is a textile detachable collar that looks like fur. You state that the collar will be composed of knit 100% polyester or 93% nylon/7% spandex or 100% acrylic fabric. The collar is lined with a woven man-made fiber fabric. The applicable subheading for style F00-14-111 will be 6117.80.9540, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Other made up clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted; knitted or crocheted parts of garments or of clothing accessories: Other accessories: Other: Other, Of man-made fibers: Other.” The duty rate will be 15% ad valorem. Style F00-14-111 falls within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Macau or Taiwan 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.

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.
