Dear Mr. Fioranelli: In your letter of March 28, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Newport News Inc. Sample of style F98-06-018 was submitted for classification. Style F98-06-018 is composed of 100% knit cotton fabric. The garment extends from the shoulders to the area of the knee. It features a full frontal opening with an inside tie closure, long sleeves, and a self fabric belt. Your sample is being returned to you. The applicable subheading for the garment is 6108.91.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for women’s cotton knit robes. The rate of duty is 8.7%. The garment falls into textile category 350. As products of Pakistan, this merchandise is presently subject to visa requirements based on international trade agreements. 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, Christopher Perry Acting Port Director Champlain, N.Y.
