Dear Mr. Pajuelo:

The sleeveless dress features an embroidered bodice, a back opening with a three button closure, belt loops, a 1 ¾ inch wide ribbon belt and a hemmed bottom. The dress will be imported in girl’s sizes 2 to 8.
The applicable subheading for Style 110030 will be 6204.43.4020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s or girls’ suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses,. . . other than swimwear: dresses: of synthetic fibers: other: other, with two or more colors in the warp and/or filling: girls’. The rate of duty will be 16 percent ad valorem.
Your suggestion of classification of this garment under 6204.42.3020, HTS, as a cotton corduroy dress is precluded since the garment is constructed from a chief weight man-made fabric with two or more colors in the warp and/or filling.
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/.
