RE: The tariff classification of a knit blouse and trouser set from Thailand

The trousers feature a fully elasticized waistband and hemmed leg openings.

You have stated in your letter that the garments will be sized for newborn and infant girls. If the garments are sized 24 months or under and are designed for young children of a body height not exceeding 86 centimeters, the garments will be classified as babies garments. If the garments are sized 2T and above they will be classified as girl's wearing apparel.

The blouse, sized 2T and above, falls within textile category designation 339 and the trousers, sized 2T and above, falls within textile category 348. As products of Thailand, this merchandise is subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints 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. 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 this ruling letter or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

Sincerely,
