RE: The tariff classification of infant bibs from India
Dear Ms. Rowe:
In your letter dated November 25, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample will be
retained for training purposes.
The submitted sample consists of a 2-piece infant bib collection constructed of two layers of 100 percent
cotton rib knit fabric. The bibs feature finished edges with textile binding, two snap-button closures on the
back and printed decorative designs. They are sized for infants 0-36 months.
For the purpose of heading 6111, the term “sets” means two or more different garments of headings 6111,
6209 or 6505 imported together, of corresponding sizes and intended to be worn together by the same person.
This collection does not meet the terms of Additional U.S. Note 1 to Chapter 61, Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS), and therefore is not considered a set for customs purposes.
The applicable subheading for the infant bibs will be 6111.20.6070, HTSUS, which provides for “Babies’
garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Other: Other, Other: Other.” The general
rate of duty will be 8.1 percent ad valorem.
The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience
and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided
at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other
charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other
duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the
classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either
the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions
covering exceptions to such tariffs.

The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as
identified in the ruling request. This position is clearly set forth in Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 177.9(b)(1). This section states that a ruling letter is issued on the assumption that all of the
information furnished in the ruling letter, whether directly, by reference, or by implication, is accurate and
complete in every material respect. In the event that the facts are modified in any way, or if the goods do not
conform to these facts at time of importation, you should bring this to the attention of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) and submit a request for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2.
Additionally, we note that the material facts described in the foregoing ruling may be subject to periodic
verification by CBP.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs and Border Protection
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 merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, please contact
