In your letter dated July 20 3, 1995, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples are being returned, as you requested.

The applicable subheading for style 55105531 will be 6208.91.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's pajamas and similar articles of cotton. The rate of duty will be 8.4 percent ad valorem.

Style 55105531 falls within textile category 352; style 61104750 falls within textile category 350; style 61104702 falls within textile category designation 336. Based upon international textile trade agreements, garments imported from China and Macau 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 (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
