RE: The tariff classification of women's woven dresses
from India.
Dear Ms. Decker:
In your letter dated January 19, 1995, you requested a tariff
classification ruling for two dresses.
Style number 213353, also referred to as Jen's slip dress, is a
women's dress made of 65 percent rayon and 35 percent cotton
woven fabric. The sleeveless fully lined garment is ankle
length. It features spaghetti straps, a scooped neckline and
side slits.
Style number 221363, also referred to as the Kim dress, is an
ankle length dress made of 65 percent rayon and 35 percent cotton
woven fabric. The garment features a V neckline, short sleeves,
a wrap around tie closure at the waist and a hemmed bottom.
The applicable subheading for the dresses will be 6204.44.4010,
Harmonized Tariff System (HTS), which provides for women's or
girls' suits, ensembles, suit- type jackets, trousers, bib and
brace overalls, breeches and shorts, dresses, of artificial
fibers, other, other, women's. The rate of duty will be 16.9
percent ad valorem.
The dresses fall within textile category designation 636. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of India
are subject to the requirement of a visa and quota restraints.
The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided
into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the
subject merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are
the result of international bilateral agreements which are
subject to frequent renegotiations and changes, to obtain the
most current information available, we suggest that you check,
close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current
Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.
S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your
local Customs office.
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
entry documents are filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
/signed/
