RE: The tariff classification of an infant’s dress from China.

Dear Ms. Starrett:

In your letter dated January 6, 2014, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you.

The submitted sample, style GT115 is a dress constructed from two fabrics. The dress is composed of knit and woven portions. The halter style front yoke, elasticized back that measures approximately 1 ½ inch wide and bottom and back ruffle is constructed from 100% cotton woven gingham fabric. The main portion of the dress is constructed of printed 92% cotton and 8% spandex knit fabric. The essential character is imparted by the knit portion of the dress. The dress will be imported in sizes ranging from 3 – 24 months.

The applicable subheading for style GT115 will be 6111.20.4000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: dresses.” The rate of duty will be 11.5 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
