RE: The tariff classification of a woman's nightshirt from Macau
Dear Ms. Koduri:
In your letter dated April 1, 1998, you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample is style 045-4897 in regular sizes, 045-4898 in petite sizes, and 045-4899 in tall sizes. The sample is
made of 100% cotton thermal knit fabric, reaches the knees, and
features short sleeves, and a partial front opening that closes
right over left with three buttons.
Your sample will be returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the nightshirt will be
6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' slips, petticoats,
briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes,
dressing gowns and similar articles, knitted or crocheted,
nightdresses and pajamas, of cotton, women's. The duty rate will
be 8.6%.
Style 045-4897 falls within textile category designation 351.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Macau are subject to quota and the requirements of a visa.
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 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 this ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time
this merchandise is imported.
Sincerely,
Artis M. Morgan, Jr.
