RE: The tariff classification of a woman's dress from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

In your letter dated July 5, 1991, on behalf of your client, Ellen Tracy, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number 651, is a woman's double- breasted coat dress. The dress, which extends to the knees, is manufactured from 100% wool, woven fabric. It features long sleeves without cuffs; a full frontal opening secured by four buttons, one of which is concealed; a full lining; a notched collar; lapels; two side seam pockets below the waist; and shoulder pads. The dress also features a fitted waist with no horizontal seam; and two pleats, on the back, which extend downward from slightly below the waist to the bottom edge. The sample is being returned under separate cover.

The applicable subheading for the dress will be 6204.41.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's wool dresses. The rate of duty will be 17 percent ad valorem.

The dress falls within textile category designation 436. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong are subject to visa requirements.

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 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
