The garment features a scoop front neckline with a front partial zipper opening and long rib knit sleeves . Pockets will be situated below the waist and made from fabric sections depicting a cats face. You state the dress will be imported in Girls sizes 2T/3T through 6/6X. The sample will be returned to you as requested.

The applicable subheading for the Girls Polyester/Cotton Knit Dress will be 6104.43.2020, 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), knitted or crocheted: Dresses: Of synthetic fibers: Other: Girls.

If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
