Dear Mr. Imbrogulio:

This is a replacement letter for classification ruling letter, NY D85787, which was issued to you on January 15, 1999. In your initial letter to us, dated December 23, 1998, you requested a binding ruling for infants’, girls’ and boys 65%cotton/35%polyester sweatshirt jackets, Style #’s BN709 and ON709, from Macau.

In ruling letter NY D85787, the infants’ sweatshirt jacket, Style #BN709, was classified under Harmonized Tariff Number 6111.20.6040.
