RE: The tariff classification of women's woven garments from Indonesia.

Dear Ms. Iacono:

In your letter dated April 24, 1990, on behalf of your client, Clothestime, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style number 2253-90, is a woman's waist-length, pullover blouse which is cut and sewn from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The garment has short sleeves with shirred edges; a rounded, collarless neckline which is circumvented by a two-and- half-inch-wide band of shirring; and a shirred waistband.

Style number 2252-90 is a woman's pullover garment which is cut and sewn from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The garment, which bares the midriff, features short sleeves with fully elasticized edges; a fully elasticized, oval-shaped neckline without any collar treatment; and a straight, bottom edge, which is also fully elasticized.

Style number 502-90 is a woman's sleeveless, waist-length blouse which is cut and sewn from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The blouse features a full frontal opening secured by seven buttons; and a rounded, collarless neckline circumvented by a one-and-one-quarter-inch-wide, flat neckband. Inserted into both the bottom seam of the neckband and the upper portion of the placket is a five-and-one-half-inch-wide, self-fabric ruffle. The ruffle obscures the upper portion of the garment, in the front and back, and also provides coverage for the shoulders. The blouse also has a straight, bottom edge.

Style number 2228-90 is a woman's garment which is cut and sewn from 100 percent cotton woven fabric. The garment, which bares part of the midriff, features short sleeves with fully elasticized edges; a full frontal opening secured by four buttons; an oval-shaped, collarless neckline, with a V-shaped notch at the front, which is circumvented by a one-and-one-half- inch-wide, flat neckline; and a straight, bottom edge. The applicable subheading for style number 2253-90 will be 6211.42.0050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, women's or girls', of cotton; blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses excluded from heading 6206. The rate of duty will be 8.6 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style numbers 2252-90 and 2228-90 will be 6211.42.0080, HTS, which provides for other garments, women's or girls', of cotton; other. The rate of duty will be 8.6 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style number 502-90 will be 6206.30.3040, HTS, which provides for women's blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, of cotton. The rate of duty will be 16.4 percent ad valorem

Style numbers 2253-90 and 502-90 fall within textile category designation 341. Style numbers 2252-90 and 2228-90 fall within textile category designation 359. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Indonesia are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.

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 (Restraints 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 Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
