RE: The tariff classification of cotton underwear from Bangladesh.

Dear Mr. Kelly:

In your letter dated May 25, 1995, on behalf of Salant Corporation, you requested a classification ruling.

Style 193086, is a girls' 100 percent 2 x 2 ribbed finely knit cotton pink crop tank style top. The cropped undershirt (size small) measures 9 inches from the shoulder to the elasticized banded bottom and features self capping on the U-shaped neck and armholes. The garment will have the words "Joe Boxer" at intervals on the banded bottom. Style 193084 is identical, except for color which is white.

The applicable subheading for styles 193086 and 193084, will be 6109.10.0037, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: women's or girls: underwear. The duty rate will be 20.6 percent ad valorem.

All styles fall within textile category designation 352. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of Bangladesh are subject to visa requirements 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 (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
Area Director
