RE: The tariff classification of a woman's dress and slip-like liner from Indonesia

Dear Ms. Williams:

In your letter dated December 10, 2004, you requested a ruling on tariff classification.

The submitted sample, style WU5AP7049MP, consists of a woman’s dress and slip-like liner both constructed from 100 percent polyester woven fabric. The dress is sleeveless and features a cowl neck. The liner features a shaped front neckline, spaghetti straps and a straight hemmed bottom. The liner is attached to the dress by means of a thread loop at both shoulder seams.

The applicable subheading for the dress will be 6204.43.4030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): dresses: of synthetic fibers: other: other: other: women’s. The rate of duty will be 16 percent ad valorem.

The rate of duty will be 14.9 percent ad valorem.

The dress falls within textile category designation 636 and the liner falls within textile category designation 652.
