Dear Ms. Milling:

In your letter dated July 12, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

Style 1513 is a pull-on dress with a fine knit upper portion made from a fabric that you state is 65% polyester and 35% cotton. The lower portion of this dress is made from a woven denim fabric that you state is 100% cotton. The dress has short sleeves, which are finished with a row of overlock stitching. The round neckline is finished with a narrow band of stretch trim. The skirt bottom is hemmed and there is a simulated self-fabric belt with a plastic buckle. You have indicated that Style 1513 will be imported in girls’ sizes 4 to 6X.

Style 1467 is a one-piece romper with a fine knit upper portion and a woven lower portion both made from fabrics that you state are 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This romper has a partial back zip opening. The short sleeves and round neckline are finished with contrasting color rib knit trim. The short divided leg lower portion has two pockets and a simulated self-fabric belt with a plastic buckle. You have indicated that Style 1467 will be imported in girls’ sizes 4 to 6X.

Style 3452 consists of two separate garments. Both of these garments are made out of the same matching solid color fabrics.

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).
