RE: The tariff classification of a girl's sailor jacket, jumper and dress from China.

Dear Ms. Murdock:

In your letter dated August 18, 1997, on behalf of your client Pleasant Company, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The applicable subheading for the jacket, will be 6202.92.2071, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets):of cotton, other, other, other, girls'.

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.
