Dear Ms. Lee:
In your letter dated March 23, 2006 you requested a classification ruling.
Submitted style 77430, manufactured from corduroy of 100% cotton, is a jeans-styled skirt, into the waistband of which a shorter pair of shorts is sewn.
The applicable subheading for this style will be 6204.52.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for …girls’…skirts and divided skirts, of cotton, other, corduroy, girls’. The duty rate will be 8.2 per cent ad valorem.

The skirt falls within textile category designation 342. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” available at our web site at www.cbp.gov.
