RE: The tariff classification of ladies' woven sleepwear from
Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong and India
Dear Ms. Webster:
In your letter dated June 11,1992 you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style WG20B, is a ladies' nightgown
manufactured from a 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The garment
features a full frontal opening secured by 13 buttons; edging at
the neck and arm openings and tucking and embroidery on the
bodice. The garment has a ruffle at the hem and reaches below
the knee area. As requested, you sample will be returned to you.
The applicable subheading for the nightgown will be
6208.21.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' singlets and other
undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses,
pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar
articles: nightdresses and pajamas: of cotton; other: women's.
The rate of duty will be 9.5 percent ad valorem.
The nightgown falls within textile category designation 351.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong and India are subject to a visa
requirement. Products of Bangladesh, China and India are subject
to quota restraints. Products of Hong Kong are currently not
subject to quota restraints.
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 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
