RE: The tariff classification of an infant's bib, creeper and receiving blanket from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Moskowitz:

In your letter dated March 29, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The gift set, Style #10800, consists of an infant's bib, creeper and receiving blanket.

The creeper is constructed of 100% cotton knit fabric and has overlapping fabric at the shoulders, short sleeves, and a snap crotch.

The blanket, measuring approximately 28 x 29 inches, has a cotton knit front and back. The front of the blanket is blue and white striped with a triangular piece of knit fabric forming a pocket at one corner. The pocket has embroidered designs of three bears and butterflies. The front and back materials of the blanket are sewn together along a 1/2 inch wide binding around the edges.

We are returning your samples as you requested.

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 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 this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Bruce Kirschner at 212-466-5865.
