In your letter dated December 5, 2000, you requested a classification ruling. The sample submitted with your request will be returned to you under separate cover.

Style 095-403411 (sizes 1X to 3X) consists of a dress and a blouse. Both garments are constructed from 100 percent rayon woven fabric. The dress features a front and back square neckline, 1 ¼ inch wide shoulder straps and side vents. The blouse is sheer and features short sleeves, a standup collar, side vents and a full front opening secured by eight buttons. The blouse is slightly shorter than the dress. The garments are attached at the shoulder seams and can be separated without damage to either garment. These garments will also be imported in sizes 4X to 5X under style number 095-403412.

The applicable subheading for the dress will be 6204.44.4010, 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): dresses: of artificial fibers: other: other: women’s.

The dress falls within textile category designation 636 and the blouse falls within textile category designation 641. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of India are subject to quota restraints and a visa requirement.

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 Patricia Schiazzano at 212-637-7080.
