RE: The tariff classification of a divided skirt from Bangladesh.
Dear Mr. Solano:
In your letter dated January 26, 1993, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, Style 7527, is a girl's 100% cotton,
brushed twill divided skirt. The skirt has all around pleats, a
four button front closure, four belt loops, a plastic belt, a
dropped yoke, and hemmed leg openings. When viewed from the front,
the article imparts the visual impression of a skirt.
You stated in your letter that the skirt will be imported in
sizes 4-6X and 7-14. You also state that the country of origin
will be Bangladesh.
We are returning your sample as you requested.
The applicable subheading for the skirt will be 6204.52.2080,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which
provides for girls' divided skirts, of cotton, other, other. 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 the
Bangladesh are presently subject to quota restraints and visa
requirements.
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
