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

Dear Sirs:

In your letter dated July 30, 2003 you requested a classification ruling.

Each of submitted styles 11016373 and 11016374 is comprised of three garments. One of the three garments, manufactured from jersey fabric of 60% cotton/40% polyester, is a pullover onto the shoulders of each a textile is overlaid. A buttoned opening is located at the neckline of the latter style.

Another of the three garments is a pair of trousers, manufactured from woven fabric of 100% cotton, and basically characterized by a partially elasticized waistband into the back of which suspenders, which will be drawn through the shoulder loops of the pullover, are sewn. These suspenders attach to the front of the waistband by means of buttons.

The third of the three garments, which can be worn over the other two, is a waist-length garment, manufactured from woven fabric of 100% cotton, and basically characterized by a full-front, buttoned opening, by long sleeves, and by a collar.

The submitted styles are being returned to you.

The hangtag attached to each of the submitted styles states that the pullover is woven. As that is incorrect the information must be corrected for actual importation.

The knitted garments and the trousers fall within textile category designation 237 and the remaining woven garments fall within 341. 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.

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.
