RE: The tariff classification of a woman's knit pajama from
Egypt.
Dear Ms. Cheung:
In your letter dated June 28, 1996, you requested a
classification ruling.
The submitted sample, identified by style number 01623, is a
woman's one-piece pajama constructed from 100% brushed cotton
drop needle interlock fabric. You indicate in your letter that
the sample bears a hangtag stating "INC Intimates" and will be
sold in your sleepwear department.
The garment is styled like a jumpsuit and features a henley
neckline, seven button front opening, long sleeves with ribbed
cuffs, center back seam, and ankle-length legs with ribbed cuffs.
The sample which has been submitted with your inquiry will be
returned as requested.
The applicable subheading for the pajama will be
6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States,
which provides for women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs,
panties, nightdresses, pajamas....knitted or crocheted:
nightdresses and pajamas: of cotton, women's. The duty rate will
be 8.9% ad valorem.
The pajama falls within textile category designation 351.
As a product of Egypt, this merchandise is subject to visa
requirements 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. Since
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.
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 been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mattina
