RE: The tariff classifications of a Babies' Cotton
Knit Kick-In Bag, and an Infants' Cotton Twill
Cocoon from Peru
Dear Ms. Schreus:
In your letter dated March 3, 1998, you requested
tariff classification rulings for Babies' Cotton Knit
Kick-In Bags and Cotton Twill Cocoons for Infants. Both
items would be imported from Peru. You provided one
sample of each article for examination. Both samples will
be returned to you.
The Babies' Cotton Knit Kick-In Bag is a pear shaped
garment. Two shoulder straps form the designated openings
for the head and arms at the top of the item. Two metal
snaps are affixed to each strap for closure and comfort.
The lower portion of the article is formed into a wide bag
which is hemmed at the sides and bottom. The garment also
features a front zipper. Both the printed shell and the
plain fabric lining are made from 100% Cotton Knit fabric.
The inside lining is quilted to 100% polyester padding. You
state the Babies' Kick-In Bag will be imported in sizes 0-6
months.
The Infants' 100% Cotton Cocoon is a snug fitting,
hooded bag. The front opening is secured with three matching
self-fabric ties. Both the printed twill shell and the plain
knit fleece lining are made from 100% Cotton fabric. The
sack is not stuffed with filling material.
The applicable subheading for the Babies' Cotton
Knit Kick-In Bag will be 6111.20.6040, Harmonized Tariff

Babies' garments and clothing accessories, knitted or
crocheted: Of cotton: Other: Other: Other. The rate of

international textile trade agreements, products of Peru
are subject to the requirement of a visa.

subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements

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.
