Three of the submitted styles, PPS0050B, PPS0050C, and PPS0050D, are manufactured from finely knitted fabric of 55% cotton and 45% polyester. Each style consists of a pair of elasticized shorts and a separate garment for the upper body. The upper body garment of the latter style is a short-sleeved, buttoned shirt. The other two upper body garments are short-sleeved pullovers.

In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
