RE: The tariff classification of four men\'s jackets from Taiwan

Dear Mr. Wegener:

In your letter dated September 18, 1990, on behalf of

Roytex, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

Four samples were submitted as follows: Style numbers

271361, 271362 and 271357 are three men\'s unlined jackets

constructed of contrasting colored inserts composed of a woven

100% cotton fabric. Style number 209520 is a man\'s unlined

jacket constructed of contrasting colored inserts composed of a

woven 100% nylon fabric.

Style numbers 271361 and 271362 are long-sleeved pullover

garments with ribbed knit fabric cuffs and waistband and a

partial opening at the neck secured by a zipper. Style 271361

has a stand-up collar with a drawcord and a front hand warmer

pocket. Style 271362 has an attached hood with a drawcord and a

large pouch pocket with a buttoned flap. Both garments have the

trade name \"Pierre Cardin\" embroidered onto the left chest.

Style number 209520 is a long-sleeved pullover garment with

elasticized sleeve cuffs and waistband. The garment has a front

hand warmer pocket and a stand-up collar with a partial opening

at the neck secured by five buttons. A small textile label with

the trade name \"Pierre Cardin\" is sewn onto the top of the hand

warmer pocket.

Style number 271357 is a short-sleeved garment with a full

front opening secured by a heavy-duty zipper closure. The

garment has two front slash pockets and a ribbed knit fabric

collar, waistband and border at the end of the sleeves. The

trade name \"Pierre Cardin\" is embroidered onto the left chest.

The samples are being returned to you as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for style numbers 271361, 271362

and 271357 will be 6201.92.2050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States (HTS), which provides for other men\'s anoraks,

windbreakers and similar articles, of cotton. The duty rate will

be 10 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style number 209520 will be

6201.93.3510, HTS, which provides for other men\'s anoraks,

windbreakers and similar articles, of man-made fibers. The duty

rate will be 29.5 percent ad valorem.

Style numbers 271361, 271362 and 271357 fall within textile

category designation 334. Style number 209520 falls within

textile category designation 634. Based upon international

textile trade agreements products of Taiwan are presently subject

to quota restraints and the requirement of a visa.

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. 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
