Dear Ms. Murphy:

DESCRIPTION OF
MERCHANDISE : The submitted sample is an infant's woven bib. The front is 50 percent cotton, 50 percent polyester chintz.
The back is 100 percent cotton, terry woven. The bib has 100 percent cotton lace trim, 100 percent polyester capping and tie, and embroidery.

IMPORT RESTRAINTS/
REQUIREMENTS : Merchandise from China is subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints based upon international textile trade agreements. Merchandise from Hong Kong 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. 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.

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,

Jean F. Maguire
Area Director
