RE: The tariff classification of toddlers’ wearing apparel from Indonesia

Dear Mr. Young:

In your letter dated July 11, 2003, written on behalf of Meijer Distribution, you requested a classification ruling.

One of the submitted styles, UPC#7-19283-04740 Item#724133, designed for boys, is comprised of two pieces. One of these pieces, manufactured from finely knitted fabric of 60% cotton/40% polyester, is a short-sleeved, round-necked pullover onto each of the shoulder seams of which a loop is horizontally sewn. The other of the pieces of this style, manufactured from denim of 100% cotton, is a sleeveless, one-piece garment, basically characterized by short legs and by a high back which extends into shoulder straps, which pass through the shoulder loops of the accompanying pullover, to attach by means of metal buttons to the upper corners of the bib front.

The other of the submitted styles, UPC#7-19283-04494 Item#724105, designed for girls, is comprised of two pieces. One of these pieces, manufactured from finely knitted fabric of 100% cotton, is a short-sleeved, round-necked pullover onto each of the shoulder seams of which a loop is horizontally sewn. The other of the pieces of this style, manufactured from twill fabric of 100% cotton, is a sleeveless, one-piece garment, basically characterized by wide-cut, short legs and by a high back which extends into shoulder straps, which pass through the shoulder loops of the accompanying pullover, to attach by means of buttons to the upper corners of the bib front.

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

These styles are precluded from classification as playsuits because of the extent of the fabric at the back of the garments.
