AGREEMENTS
Exemption from Category 647/648 of
Ski and Snowboard Pants
Manufactured in the People’s Republic
of China
October 26, 2005.
Committee for the
Implementation of Textile Agreements
(CITA).
ACTION: Issuing a directive to the
Commissioner, Customs and Border
Protection, to not subject ski and
snowboard pants to limits on category
647/648 and to release them from the
current embargo for goods manufactured
in the People’s Republic of China.
AGENCY:
EFFECTIVE DATE:
November 1, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Philip J. Martello, Director, Trade and
Data Division, Office of Textiles and
Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce,
(202) 482-3400.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: Section 204 of the Agriculture
Act of 1956 (7 U.S.C. 1854); Executive Order
11651, 37 Fed. Reg. 4699 (Mar. 3, 1972), as
amended.
CITA has determined that certain
imports of ski and snowboard pants
from China do not contribute to the
market disruption found in category
647/648 goods. CITA based this
determination on its belief that these ski
and snowboard pant imports of Chinese
origin were not, due to market
disruption, threatening to impede the
orderly development of trade in these
products. Specifically, CITA determined
that ski/snowboard pants should not be
covered by the 2005 safeguard quota.
CITA has received new information
indicating that there is minimal
domestic production of the ski/
snowboard pants products; the ski/
snowboard pants products are seasonal
products with limited end-use; the ski/
snowboard pants products account for
de minimis import quantities; thus, the
exclusion does not undermine the
market disruption finding or require the
readjustment of the quota calculation;
and the ski/snowboard pants products
are easily definable in the HTS schedule
for enforcement purposes and the
specificity of the definition ensures that
PO 00000

this provision will apply only to those
items that meet the narrow parameters
established in the tariff items and in the
statistical note of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
The HTSUS has been modified to
establish a new statistical note for ski/
snowboard pants applicable to HTSUS
items 6203.43.3510, 6204.63.3010,
6210.40.5031, and 6210.50.5031. Ski
and snowboard pants can also be
imported as parts of ski suits, classified
under HTSUS items 6211.20.1525 and
6211.20.1555.
Effective on November 1, 2005, for
goods produced or manufactured in the
People’s Republic of China, that meet
the definition of ski/snowboard pants,
provided below, classified in HTSUS
items 6203.43.3510, 204.63.3010,
6210.40.5031, and 6210.50.5031, and
trousers imported as parts of ski-suits
classified under HTSUS items
6211.20.1525 and 6211.20.1555, CITA is
directing the Commissioner, Customs
and Border Protection, to not subject
these products to restrictions
established for category 647/648 in 2005
and to allow entry of such goods no
longer subject to the embargo currently
in effect for category 647/648 goods.
Definition:
For the purposes of subheadings
6203.43.3510, 6204.63.3010,
6210.40.5031, and 6210.50.5031:
The term ‘‘ski/snowboard pants’’
means ankle-length pants made of
synthetic fabrics, with or without
insulation for cold weather protection,
with zippered or hook and loop
enclosed pockets, sealed seams and
hidden elastic leg sleeves, and with one
or more of the following: side openings,
scuff guards or reinforcement in the
seat. A sealed seam is one that has been
covered, on the backside of the fabric,
with tape or a coating to ‘‘bridge’’ the
seam so that air and water cannot pass
through. The tape or coating may be
applied using heat and/or pressure.

of such ski and snowboard pants, produced
or manufactured in the People’s Republic of
China and entered for consumption or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption
into the United States on and after November
1, 2005.
Definition:
For the purposes of headings 6203.43.3510,
6204.63.3010, 6210.40.5031, and
6210.50.5031:
The term ‘‘ski/snowboard pants’’ means

the following: side openings, scuff guards or

one that has been covered, on the backside
of the fabric, with tape or a coating to
‘‘bridge’’ the seam so that air and water
cannot pass through. The tape or coating may
be applied using heat and/or pressure.
The Committee for the Implementation of

action falls within the foreign affairs
