The Customs Rulings Online Search System (CROSS) was updated April 21 with the following headquarters rulings (ruling revocations and modifications will be detailed elsewhere in a separate article as they are announced in the Customs Bulletin):
H326665: Application for Further Review of Protest No. 2704-20-137627; Tariff Classification of Men’s and Boys’ Knitted Pullovers
| Ruling: The pullovers at issue are classified in subheading 6110.30.3053 as "Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Other: Other: Men’s or boys’: Other.” |
| Issue: What is the tariff classification of the men’s and boys’ knitted pullovers? |
| Item: Men’s and boys’ long-sleeved, round neck pullovers. Laboratory report of the fibers found them to be of 88.3% polyester, 8.1% cotton, and 3.6% metallic (3.1% polyester + 0.5% metallic Component). |
| Reason: The yarns of the pullovers at issue here are three distinct yarns that are not twisted together, with the non-metalized yarns, in this case polyester, predominating in weight. CBP has previously considered the classification of pullovers made with metalized yarns. The man-made fibers of the pullovers that are not combined in any way through twisting, gimping, or cabling with the metalized part of the garment, or covered in any way with the metalized part of the garment, make up the chief weight of the garments. |
