RE: The tariff classification of women's woven dressing gowns
from China, Oman or Sri Lanka .
Dear Mr. Barad:
In your letter dated January 4, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
Style number 5901 is a women's dressing gown made of 100 percent
cotton flannel woven fabric. The pullover garment features a
knit turtleneck collar, long sleeves with rib knit cuffs and a
hemmed bottom.
The applicable subheading for the dressing gown will be
6208.91.1010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' singlets and other
undershirts, slips, peticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses,
pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar
articles, other, of cotton, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar
articles, women's. The rate of duty will be 8.4 percent ad
valorem.
The gown falls within textile category designation 350. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of China
and Sri Lanka are subject to the requirement of a visa and quota
restraints. Products of Oman are subject to visa requirements
only.
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.
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
entry documents are filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
/signed/
