Grunfeld, Desiderio, Lebowitz & Silverman 12 East 49th Street New York, N.Y. 10017 RE: The tariff classification of women's jumpers from Taiwan. Dear Mr. Wojcik: In your letter dated April 3, 1990, on behalf of your client, Orit Imports, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted samples, style numbers B5291 and B5291SH, are women's jumpers. Neither style provides the requisite coverage for wear without another outer garment, such as a blouse or shirt. Style B5291 is cut and sewn from yarn-dyed woven fabric, with a plaid pattern, composed of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. It features a full frontal opening secured by seven metal buttons; a scoop neckline; and a dropped waist, into which the fabric of the lower "skirt" portion has been gathered. Style B5291SH is cut and sewn from yarn-dyed woven fabric, with a hound's tooth pattern, composed of 75% polyester and 25% rayon. It features a full frontal opening secured by seven plastic buttons: a scoop neckline; and a dropped waist, into which the fabric comprising the lower "skirt" portion has been gathered. The applicable subheading for style number B5291 will be 6211.42.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments for women or girls', of cotton, jumpers. The rate of duty will be 8.6 percent ad valorem. The applicable subheading for style number B5291SH will be 6211.43.0070, HTS, which provides for other garments for women or girls', of man-made fibers, jumpers. The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.  Style number B5291 falls within textile category designation 359, and style number B5291SH falls within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Taiwan are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints. 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. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
