In your letter dated July 23, 2004, on behalf of Dorby Frocks Ltd, 1400 Broadway, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10018, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The neckline, sleeve openings, placket area, and the bottom are finished with braided fabric. The dress is constructed from 100% acrylic, double knit fabric. It extends from the neck to the mid-calf and features a ribbed mock collar, short hemmed sleeves, a left side slit, and a hemmed bottom.
