RE: The tariff classification of a girl’s two-piece playsuit from China

Dear Mr. Armani:

In your letter dated May 5, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style MB5002, is a girl’s two-piece playsuit consisting of a knit pullover and woven capri pants. The sleeveless pullover is constructed from 65% cotton, 35% polyester finely knit fabric and features a V-shape neckline in front, 3 ¼ inch straps measured at the shoulder seams, a full back with a high neckline, embroidery on the front, and a straight hemmed bottom. The capri length pants are constructed from 95% cotton, 5% spandex woven fabric and feature a zippered fly front opening with a metal button closure at the waist, front pockets, side cargo pockets with pocket flaps and metal button closures, embroidery on the front, and hemmed leg openings with side slits. The waistband of the capri pants is straight and does not contain any elastic or belt loops. There are four buttons located at the waistline of the pullover (two in front and two in back, positioned on each side of the garment center) that attach to the waistline of the pants by means of compatible buttonholes. The buttons are oversized and in a contrasting color. The playsuit will have a descriptive hangtag affixed to it that will be visible to the consumer and will state “2 PC PLAYSUIT WITH REINFORCED 4 BUTTON/BUTTON HOLE ATTACHMENT.” The hangtag will feature illustrations of the pullover and pants and show how they attach to each other and that they are meant to be worn together. The playsuit will be imported in girls’ sizes 2T to 4T, 4 to 6X, and 7 to 14.

Your sample will be returned as requested.
