RE: The tariff classification of wearing apparel for girls’ wear from India and China

Dear Ms. Weiss:

This ruling replaces NY I87527, dated October 25, 2002. The sample you resubmitted on behalf of Flapdoodles, Inc., style SRT897, is constructed essentially of knitted fabric with approximately 7 stitches per 2 centimeters measured in the direction the stitches are formed. Our original response to you indicated that the article contained essentially more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters. The changes are contained within the text.

Submitted style DTP636, manufactured from finely rib-knitted fabric of 100% cotton, is basically a sleeveless pullover, scoop-necked, the shoulder straps of which measure approximately one-half inch wide.

Submitted style FRE529, manufactured from finely rib-knitted fabric of 100% cotton, is a loose-fitting, sleeveless pullover, the neckline of which is scooped only at the front. Heavyweight yarns embroider the neckline and the entire upper half of the front of the garment.

Submitted style STR897, manufactured from knitted fabric of 55% ramie/45% cotton, is a sleeveless pullover, the edges of which are crocheted, and the neckline of which is scooped only at the front. At the front a ribbon is laced across the waistline.

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.
