Dear Mr. Imbrogulio:

In your letter dated July 19, 2000 you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The dress extends from the shoulders to below the knees and features the following: a round neckline; a bottom rear slit; and a hemmed bottom. The pants feature an elastic waistband; two sideseam inset pockets at the waist; and long hemmed leg openings.

Your samples are being returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for the coat will be 6102.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s overcoatsand similar articles, knitted, other than those of heading 6104: of man-made fibers: other: other.

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.
