RE: The tariff classification of a girl's woven divided skirt and jumper from Macau

Dear Ms. Brown:

In your letter dated March 20, 1997, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style NBG880 is a girl's divided skirt constructed from 100% cotton woven fabric. The garment features a single button closure on the front waistband, a front zipper, hemmed leg openings, and an additional piece of fabric sewn into the right side seam of the garment that extends across the front and buttons to the left side of the waistband. When the garment is worn and viewed from the front, the leg separation is not apparent thereby creating the appearance of a skirt. The garment will be imported in girls' sizes 4 to 14.

Style NBG875 is a girl's jumper constructed from 100% cotton woven fabric. The garment features a scoop neckline in front and back, a full front opening with fourteen button closures, two button closures at the top of each shoulder strap, oversized armholes, a gathered waist, front patch pockets located below the waist, and a straight hemmed bottom. The garment will be imported in girls' sizes 4 to 14.

Your samples will be returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the divided skirt will be 6204.52.2080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' suits . . . skirts and divided skirts: of cotton: other: other: girls'. The rate of duty will be 8.6% ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for the jumper will be 6211.42.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, women's or girls': of cotton: jumpers. The rate of duty will be 8.4% ad valorem.

The divided skirt falls within textile category designation 342 and the jumper falls within textile category designation 359. As a product of Macau, the divided skirt is subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints based upon international textile trade agreements and the jumper is subject to a visa requirement based upon international textile trade agreements.

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. 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 this ruling letter or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

Sincerely,

Aileen Colon
