RE: The tariff classification of an infant’s bodysuit from China.

The article has rib knit capping at the neckline, lap shoulders, sleeves and leg hole openings. There is screen print lettering at the garment front. The item is sized for babies’ newborn to 24 months of age.

The sample will be returned to you.

The applicable subheading for the babies’ bodysuit will be 6111.20.6010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other, sunsuits, washsuits and similar apparel.
