be returned to you.
The jacket features short sleeves, shoulder pads, a V neck and
a double breasted full front opening with an inner snap and button
and six outer buttons. The jacket has pockets below the waist with
metal chain trim. The straight skirt features an elasticized back
waistband and a rear button and zipper closure and a rear center
slit. The camisole has a tubular body with a front a back panel
joined at the sides. The camisole has 1 1/4 inch straps and the
coverage is from the top of the bust to below the waist.

The jacket falls within textile category designation 635, the

international textile trade agreements, products of Indonesia are
subject to a visa requirement and 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,
