RE: The tariff classification of a costume from China.

Dear Ms. Rogalski:

In your letter dated March 25, 2003 you requested a classification ruling. The sample will be returned to you as requested.

The submitted sample, style 5615 is a children’s size, unisex Winnie the Pooh Costume made of knit 55% acrylic/45% polyester fabric. The costume is a well-made coverall with an attached hood with the face of a bear. The garment has long sleeves with attached mitts, and a back zipper closure.

The applicable subheading for the Winnie the Pooh Costume, style 5615 will be 6114.30.3054, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Other garments, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other, Coveralls, jumpsuits and similar apparel: Women’s or girls”: Other.” The duty rate will be 15% ad valorem.

Style 5615 falls within textile category designation 659. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 646-733-3053.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
