Dear Ms. Schaeffer:

In your letter dated March 9, 2006, on behalf of Dandee International Ltd., you requested a classification ruling. The samples will be returned to you as requested.

Three samples of style B561860RA were submitted with your request. Style B561860RA is an infant’s costume of three animals, a lion, poodle and elephant, made of 100% knit pile polyester fabric. Style B561860RA is a sleeveless garment extending from the neck to med-thigh. The garment features an attached hood, and an elasticized opening at the bottom and armholes. The costume also features a tail and ears depending on the model and will be sized in 6 to 18 months.

The applicable subheading for style B561860RA will be 6111.30.5070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: Of synthetic fibers: Other, Other: Other."
