pullover is constructed from 65% rayon, 35% nylon, allover rib knit
fabric. The outer surface of the fabric measures more than 9
stitches per 2 centimeters in the horizontal direction. The
pullover features one inch shoulder straps, a deep V-front and
back, and a drawstring waist.
The camisole is constructed from 100% silk, woven fabric and
features adjustable shoulder straps, a straight front and back and
a hemmed bottom.
Your samples are being returned.
The applicable subheading for style C6378, the pullover, will
be 6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States

textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota
restraints and the requirement of a visa.
The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. 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.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177
of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above
should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this
