Dear Mr. Maher:

In your letter received by this office on October 4, 2005, that was written on behalf of Hoop Retail LLC, you requested a classification ruling.

Submitted style D4916G0001 is comprised of two pieces. One of these pieces, manufactured from woven fabric of 100% polyester, is a sleeveless, empire-styled nightgown. To be worn over this garment is the other of the two pieces, manufactured from sheer knitted fabric of 100% nylon, a long-sleeved, tiered robe that can fasten together at the neckline at the center of the full-front opening by means of a tie.

As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
