RE: The tariff classification of women’s sleepwear from China

Dear Ms. Beckford:

In your letter dated November 20, 2007, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of H & M Hennes & Mauritz LP. Your sample will be returned as requested.

Submitted sample, style #885800/1335, is a woman’s nightgown and matching thong-styled panty constructed from 100% polyester woven fabric. The pullover nightgown extends from the top of the bust to approximately the mid-thigh. The garment features adjustable, elasticized shoulder straps and a drawstring under the bust line. The thong-styled panty features an elasticized waist and leg openings. Both garments are embellished with contrasting colored trim.

The applicable subheading for the style 885800/1335 will be 6208.22.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s or girls’ singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: nightdresses and pajamas: of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 16 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries. The textile category number above applies to merchandise produced in non-WTO member-countries. Quota and visa requirements are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information on quota and visa requirements applicable to this merchandise, we suggest you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” which is available on our web site at www.cbp.gov.
