RE: The tariff classification of Children’s Woven Cotton Terry Cloth Hooded Cover-up from China or India

Dear Mr. Cole:

In your letter dated November 18, 1999, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Town & Country Linen Corp., 475 Oberlin Avenue South, Lakewood, New Jersey 08701.

The sample submitted is a Children’s Cover-up constructed from a 100 % Cotton Woven Terry Cloth Towel. An oval shaped opening has been cut into the center of the towel. Sewn into the opening is a Terry Cloth Hood. Animal characteristics, including embroidered eyes, and the floppy ears and trunk of an elephant are sewn onto the hood. The ears and trunk are constructed of woven fabric in contrasting colors. You state the hoods will feature character designs of various animals. The sides of the garment are completely open. The bottom borders will either be plain or feature a dobby weave. The weight of each garment will be 390 grams. You state the item will be imported in one size. In response to your request, the sample will be returned to you.

The applicable subheading for the 100% Cotton Woven Terry Cloth Hooded Cover-up will be 6211.42.0081, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: Other garments, women’s or girls’: Of cotton: Other. The 1999 rate of duty is 8.4%. The rate of duty for 2000 will be 8.3%.

The Terry Cloth Hooded Cover-up falls within Textile Category Designation 359. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of China and India are 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,

Carole E. Graves
Port Director
