RE: The tariff classification of women's pajamas from Hong Kong
Dear Ms. Krule:
In your letter dated May 17, 1994, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, style 744048/741048FF, is a two piece
pajama set constructed from fabric that is 100 percent woven yarn
dyed cotton. The pajama top features a shirt collar, long sleeves
with button cuffs, a full front opening with a right over left
button closure, a left chest pocket and a shirt-tail bottom. The
boxer-style bottom has a elasticized waist, a fly front and hemmed
leg openings.
As you have requested, your samples will be returned to you.
The applicable subheading for the pajamas will be
6208.21.0010, 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... with two or more colors in
the warp and/or filling. The rate of duty will be 9.5 percent ad
valorem.
The pajamas fall within textile category designation 351.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong
Kong are subject to a visa requirement and 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
