RE: The tariff classification of women's sleepwear from Bangladesh
or Hong Kong
Dear Mr. Piropato:
In your letter dated July 29, 1998, on behalf of Alsy
International, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.
Two samples of women's woven sleep bottoms were submitted with
your request. Both styles submitted are constructed from 100
percent cotton woven fabric. Style 99001 is a pajama pant that
features long hemmed legs and an elasticized drawstring waist.
Style 99003 is identical in styling to the above but has short
hemmed legs.
The applicable subheading for both styles will be
6208.91.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for women's or girls' singlets and other
undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses,
pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles:
other: of cotton: women's. The duty rate will be 11.6 percent ad
valorem.
Both styles fall within textile category designation 352.
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
Bangladesh and Hong Kong are subject to a visa requirement and
quota restraints.
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. If you have any questions regarding the
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Patricia Schiazzano at
(212) 466-5866.

Robert B. Swierupski
