RE: The tariff classification of a girl's cotton denim skirt,
style 241, from Taiwan.
Dear Mr. Holmgren:
In your letter dated August 27, 1990, on behalf of Amrox
International Corp., you requested a tariff classification
ruling.
The submitted garment is styled similarly to jeans with
pockets. There is a zippered, fly-front opening, and there are
belt loops on the buttoned waistband.
The back of the garment resembles shorts, whereas the front
resembles a short skirt without apparent leg separations.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6204.52.2040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for girls' blue denim cotton skirts. The
rate of duty will be 8.7% ad valorem.
The skirt falls within textile category designation 342.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Taiwan are subject to quota restraints and a visa requirement.
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.

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
