RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit nightshirt from Peru.

Dear Ms. Jolley:

The knee-length nightshirt has a v-shaped capped neckline, long sleeves, and a plain, hemmed bottom. The garment will also be imported under the same style number with a fiber content of 90 percent cotton, ten-percent polyester rib knit fabric.

The applicable subheading for the nightshirt will be 6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Women’snightshirts knitted or crocheted: Of cotton. The duty rate will be 8.5 percent ad valorem.

The nightshirt falls within textile category designation 351. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.

In addition, you will find current information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at otexa.ita.doc.gov.
