RE: The tariff classification of a woman's dress from the Philippines

Dear Mr. Richardson:

In your letter dated December 21, 1994, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Rampage Clothing Company.

The submitted sample, style 987, is a dress constructed from woven fabric that will be 75 percent rayon/25 percent polyester or 50 percent rayon/50 percent polyester. The dress features 3/4 inch shoulder straps, front pockets located below the waist, one pouch pocket on the chest area and a back zipper closure.

The applicable subheading for style 987 will be 6204.44.4010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets and blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): dresses: of artificial fibers: other: other: women's. The rate of duty will be 16.9 percent ad valorem.

The dress falls within textile category designation 636. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of the Philippines are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints.

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. 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 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 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
New York Seaport
