RE: The tariff classification of a child’s unisex costume from China.

Dear Ms. Schmit:

In your undated letter you requested a classification ruling. The sample will be returned to you as requested.

The submitted sample style 6P57129, Mexican Boy Costume consists of a bolero style jacket and pants composed of woven 80% polyester/20% cotton fabric. The jacket has trim on the sleeves and a full front opening without a closure. The pants have a hemmed bottom and a tunneled-elasticized waistband.

The Mexican Boy Costume is well made with turned and finished cuffs, styling and embellishments.

The Mexican Boy Costume consists of two or more garments. Note 13 of Section XI, of the HTSUSA, requires that textile garments of different headings be separately classified, thus preventing classification of costumes consisting of two or more garments as sets. If a set cannot exist by application of Note 13, the articles that may be packaged with the garments must also be classified separately.

 The applicable subheading for the bolero style jacket will be 6204.33.5020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for "Women's or girls' suit-type jackets and blazers, Of synthetic fibers, Other, Girls'." The rate of duty will be 27.3% ad valorem. The textile category is 635.
