Dear Ms. Seeley:

This style is comprised of a long-sleeved, turtleneck pullover, manufactured from finely knitted fabric of 50% cotton/50% polyester, and of a matching jumper, manufactured from finely knitted fabric of 100% polyester. The garments are fashioned in the Northwestern University colors of dark purple and white.

A vertical zipper at the mid-section of the back fastens the sleeveless, scoop-necked, low-waisted, and pleated jumper, across the front of which is embroidered NORTHWESTERN within the shape of a bullhorn.

The applicable subheading for both of the garments of this style, when manufactured in infants’ sizing will be 6111.30.5040, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted, of synthetic fibers, other, other, other.

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).
