this garment is terry cloth. Features of the coverup include long

opening with a zippered closure. A detachable hood is secured to
the neckline with metal snaps. You state this garment will be
imported in boys' sizes 2/3; 4/5; and 6/7. The sample will be
returned to you as requested.
The applicable subheading for the Boys' 80% Cotton and 20%
Polyester Knit Beach Coverup will be 6107.91.0090, Harmonized

agreements, products of Macau are subject to quota and the

which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To

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
