back panel, and a hemmed bottom. The pants feature an elasticized waistband and rib
knit cuffs at the leg openings. The set will be imported in infants' sizes 6, 12, 18, and
24 months.
Your sample will be returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the infant's set will be 6111.20.6020, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for babies' garments and
clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: sets. The rate of duty
will be 8.4% ad valorem.
The set falls within textile category designation 239. As a product of Macau, this
merchandise is subject to a visa requirement based upon international textile trade
agreements.
The designated textile and apparel category 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 this ruling letter or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
Sincerely,
Irene Jankov
