20.7 percent ad valorem.
This garment falls within textile category designation 338.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of the
People's Republic of China are subject to visa requirements and
quota restraints.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable

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 Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have already been filed, this ruling should be brought to
the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
