Dear Ms. Bakhshpour:

In your letter dated February 22, 2008, on behalf of Forever 21 Logistics Inc., you requested a classification ruling. The sample which you submitted is being returned as requested.

The submitted sample Style 078DK17159 is a hair scarf/head wrap made of woven 100% cotton fabric. The scarf measures approximately 98 cm x 121 cm x 23 cm when unfolded. The scarf can be used on both the hair and neck.

The hair scarf/head wrap is classifiable as a scarf in heading 6214 and as an other clothing accessory in heading 6217. General Rule of Interpretation 3 (a) states that “Whengoods are, prima facie, classifiable in two or more headings3 (a) The heading which provides the most specific description shall be preferred to headings providing a more general description” Therefore, Style 078DK17159 is classified as a scarf.

The applicable subheading for the Style 078DK17159 will be 6214.90.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the united States (HTSUS), which provides for "Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like: Of other textile materials, Of cotton."
