RE: The tariff classification of a woman's dress from China

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

In your letter dated May 27, 1998, you requested a classification ruling. The sample submitted with your request will be returned to you under separate cover.

Style S99-02-023 is a dress constructed from 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton woven fabric. The dress is lined with 100 percent polyester woven fabric. The dress features a scooped neckline, 1/4 inch wide shoulder straps and a flared bottom. The lining extends approximately 2 inches below the dress.

The applicable subheading for style S99-02-023 will be 6204.49.5060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): dresses: of other textile materials: other: other: other. The duty rate will be 7.3 percent ad valorem.

Style S99-02-023 falls within textile category designation 836. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China 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,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
