Dear Ms. Hansen:
In your letter dated February 28, 1997, you requested a
tariff classification ruling for a Girls' 100% Cotton Woven
Skirt.
The submitted sample, JS602-00, is a girls' drop skirt with
fitted waist. The skirt features a seven-inch zipper in the

The material used in the skirt will be 100% Japanese woven cotton
in a blue and white striped pattern. The skirt, intended for
children aged 7-14, will be imported in sizes 6X through 16.
The applicable subheading for the Girls' 100% Cotton Woven
Skirt will be 6204.52.2080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for Women's or girls' suits,
ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided

The skirt falls within textile category designation 342.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Hong Kong are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.
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.
Sincerely,
Carole E. Graves
