Dear Ms. Burns:

The sample submitted, Style Number K316809, is a unisex
ski suit designed for children, and constructed from 100% woven nylon fabric with a 100% polyester filling. This garment features a partial zippered front closure that extends to the
top of the 2 3/4 inch stand-up collar. A placket with four
Velcro closures covers the zipper. The long sleeves have elastic tightening at the wrist. Two zippered pockets are placed in the chest area above the one inch clasp belt. Two additional zippered pockets are placed at the hip area. Zippers are also placed on the outside of each hemmed leg. When opened, they reveal a leg sleeve with elastic tightening at the ankle. Cool logos are sewn onto the left front chest area and left sleeve. The words Cool Ski are embroidered onto the back of the stand up collar. You state the ski suit will be imported in sizes S, M, L, & XL. The sample you provided will be returned to you as requested.
The applicable subheading for the 100% Nylon Woven Ski Suit for children will be 6211.20.7820, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States(HTS), which provides for Track Suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: Ski-suits: Other: Other: Womenor girlsOther: Other: Of man-made fibers.

The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. 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 Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
