PD F80442 January 3, 2000 CLA-2-61:S:S:N:I03:JS CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO: 6114.20.0010 Ms. Lisa Girvin Eddie Bauer, Inc. P.O. Box 97000 Redmond, Washington Re: The classification of garments from Canada. Dear Ms. Gervin: In your letter of December 9, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Sample of style 080-0486 was submitted for classification. Style 080-0486 is composed of 90% cotton / 10% lycra finely knit fabric. The sleeveless garment extends from the shoulders to the area of the waist. It features 3/8 inch shoulder straps and a shelf bra on the inside. It also has a low straight back. Your sample is being returned to you. The applicable subheading for the garment is 6114.20.00010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for women’s cotton knit tops. The rate of duty is 11.1%. The garment falls into textile category 339. As products of Canada, this merchandise is not presently subject to visa requirements based on international trade agreements and not subject to quota reporting. 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, 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 Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, David Ballard Port Director Champlain, N.Y.
