RE: The tariff classification of woven bathrobes from China

Dear Ms. Aldinger:

In your letter dated April 12, 2005 you requested a classification ruling. The submitted sample will be returned as requested.

Item # 942403, designated as “Terry Cotton Bath Robe Unisex”, is made from 100 percent cotton woven terry fabric, although you have identified the fabric as being of a knitted, “embossed terry look fleece” construction. The full-length robe features a shawl collar, long hemmed sleeves and a self-fabric belt and belt loops. It is to be imported as a “one size fits all” robe.

The applicable subheading for the robe will be 6208.91.1010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s or girls’ singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: other: of cotton: bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: women’s. The duty rate will be 7.5 percent ad valorem.

The robe falls within textile category designation 350. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” available at our web site at www.cbp.gov. 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.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Patricia Schiazzano at 646-733-3051.

Sincerely,
