In your letter dated March 29, 2000, with supplemental information provided in your letter of May 1, 2000, you requested a classification ruling for two pair of women’s pajamas and a woman’s nightdress on behalf of Milco Industries, Inc. The samples are being returned, as you requested.

The three styles fall within textile category designation 351. Based upon international textile trade agreements these products of Bulgaria are not, at present, subject either to quota or to 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.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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Angela De Gaetano at 212-637-7029.
