RE: The tariff classification of girls' overalls from Macau.

classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned
to you.
The submitted sample, style 81037DE451 is a pair of girls'
woven 100% cotton blue denim overalls. The garment features a
front bib with a horizontal pocket with two separate segments above
a defined waist. The rear panels, which rise slightly above the
front bib, have adjustable shoulder straps with metal hooks that
attach to metal buttons on the bib front. The item also features
two rear pockets, a mock fly front and an opening alongside each
diagonal pocket which is secured by two metal buttons. The garment
is size 16 and will be imported in sizes 7-16.
The applicable subheading for style 81037DE451 will be

Style 81037DE451 falls within textile category designation
237. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Macau are subject to 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 merchandise may be subject to an ITC exclusion order
dealing with denim garments produced by certain acid wash methods.
For further information on admissibility you should contact your
local Customs office. This ruling applies to the classification of
the merchandise and not to its admissibility under the terms of the
exclusion order.
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. If you have any questions regarding the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Bruce Kirschner at 212-466-5865.
