The submitted sample, style 05256, is a woman’s sweater of 50% mohair, 25% wool, and 25% nylon knit with less that nine stitches per two centimeters measured in the direction the stitches were formed.

The duty rate will be 16.4%. Style 05256 falls within textile category designation 446. Based upon international textile trade agreements, category 446 from India is subject to the requirements 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.

CUSTOMS.GOV. 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. 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 or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. Sincerely, Kathleen Sarten Port Director Seattle
