front slash pockets, one button back pockets and hemmed bottoms.
The garment will be imported in sizes 29-30. Style 107-384-173
is identical, except for the size range 31-48. Style 107-384-174
will be imported in sizes 34-48 (tall).
The applicable subheading for style 107-384-172, 107-384-173
and 107-384-174 will be 6203.42.4015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

Dominican Republic are subject to quota 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 merchandise is imported. If you have any questions
