The slit is embellished with beading on either side. The skirt extends to the ankle. The blouse is sleeveless and features a full lining, a square neckline, a back zipper closure and beading around the front neckline. The blouse measures 3 ½ inches at the shoulder seam.

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).
