RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit bed jacket from China.

Dear Ms. Hayd:

In your letter dated October 20, 2006, you requested a classification ruling. You sample is being returned as requested.

The submitted sample is a woman’s bed jacket imported under Styles MN7016 (Petite S-PXL), MN7016 (S-XL), and PN7016 (1X-3X), constructed from 60% nylon, 38% cotton, and 2% spandex knit fabric. The bed jacket extends below the waist and features 3/4" sleeves, a ruffled collar, a full front opening with a tie closure, and a picot trimmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the bed jacket, Styles MN7016 (Petite S-PXL), MN7016 (S-XL), and PN7016 (1X-3X) will be 6108.92.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s knitbathrobes and similar articles of man-made fibers, other, women's.
