RE: The tariff classification of a women's bib and brace overalls from the Philippines

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

In your letter dated August 25, 1997, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Newport News, Inc. The sample submitted with your request will be returned to you under separate cover.

Style 00327 is a pair of bib and brace overalls constructed from 100 percent polyester woven crepe fabric. The overalls feature a bib that extends 8 1/2 inches above the waistline, a center pocket and adjustable shoulder straps the fasten at the back waist with a button and a side button and zipper closure. The garment has long hemmed legs.

The applicable subheading for style 00327 will be 6204.63.1510, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: of synthetic fibers: other: bib and brace overalls: other: other: women's. The duty rate will be 16.4 percent ad valorem.

Style 00327 falls within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of the Philippines are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel categories 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 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 Patricia Schiazzano at (212) 466 - 5866.

Sincerely,
