RE: The tariff classification of women’s sleepwear pants from China
Dear Ms. Family:
In your letter dated October 8, 2019, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Belk International. The samples will be returned under separate cover.
The submitted sample, Style 238B060, is a women’s pajama pant. It is constructed from 100% cotton flannel woven fabric. The loose fitting pull-on garment features an elasticized waistband with a functional drawstring and piping at the ankle. The sleep pant features an all-over print design, and long hemmed leg openings.
The applicable subheading for Style 238B060 will be 6208.91.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Women’s or girls’ singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles, non-knitted or crocheted: Other: Of cotton: Other: Women’s. The rate of duty will be 11.2 percent ad valorem.
Pursuant to U.S. Note 20 to Subchapter III, Chapter 99, HTSUS, products of China classified under subheading 6208.91.3010, HTSUS, unless specifically excluded, are subject to an additional 15 percent ad valorem rate of duty. At the time of importation, you must report the Chapter 99 subheading, i.e., 9903.88.15, in addition to subheading 6208.91.3010, HTSUS, listed above.
The HTSUS is subject to periodic amendment so you should exercise reasonable care in monitoring the status of goods covered by the Note cited above and the applicable Chapter 99 subheading.
