The sample features a turtleneck constructed from welt stitch, rib knit fabric; a loose fitting body; short, loose fitting, hemmed sleeves; a patch pocket on the left chest finished with welt stitch, rib knit edging; and a hemmed bottom. The applicable subheading for Style Nos. 7170 and 717 will be 6110.20.2065, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: men's or boys'. The duty rate for these garments will be 20.7 percent ad valorem. The garments fall within textile category designation 338. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates are subject to visa require- ments and quota restraints. Qatar is not currently subject to visa requirements or 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 sub- ject 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 already been filed, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
