RE: The tariff classification of boys’ play suits from Hong Kong

Dear Mr. Schoenig:

In your letter dated May 9, 2003, written on behalf of Kids International, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

Submitted style 123 is comprised of two pieces. One of these pieces is a short-sleeved, round-necked pullover, manufactured from jersey fabric of 60% cotton/40% polyester, around the bottom of which four buttons are equidistantly sewn. The other of these pieces is a pair of shorts, manufactured from woven fabric of 100% cotton, characterized by a non-elasticized waistband, which buttons together above a zippered, fly-front opening, and by four buttonholes equidistantly placed around the waistband. Into these buttonholes the pullover will attach.

Submitted style 456 in size 4 is comprised of two pieces. One of these pieces is a short-sleeved, round-necked pullover, manufactured from jersey fabric of 60% cotton/40% polyester, onto each of the shoulders of which a textile loop is sewn. The other of these pieces is a sleeveless pair of shortalls, manufactured from denim fabric of 100% cotton, characterized by a buttoned opening at each side of the waist and by adjustable suspenders, which extend from the high back of the garment through the shoulder loops of the pullover to attach by means of metal hardware to the top corners of the bib front.

As you have requested, the sample garments are being returned.

To obtain the most current information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas, which is available at our Web site at www.cbp.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.
