RE: The tariff classification of an infant’s skirt from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Irish:

In your letter dated June 7, 1999 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number 01141850, is an infant’s skirt made of 100 percent cotton printed fabric. The pull on skirt features a waistband with elastic in back, a straight hemmed bottom, and an attached panty with elasticized leg openings and a three-snap crotch. The skirt will be imported in infant’s sizes 6 to 24 months.

The applicable subheading for the infant’s skirts will be 6209.20.5050, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for babies’ garments and clothing accessories, of cotton, other, other, other. The rate of duty will be 9.6 percent ad valorem .

The sample will be returned to you as requested.

The skirt falls within textile category designation 239. Based upon international textile trade agreements, these infant garments as described above from Hong Kong are not subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report, an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web Site at WWW.CUSTOMS.USTREAS.GOV. In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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.

Sincerely,

Anita Terry-McDonald
Port Director
