RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s beach robe from the Cambodia.

Dear Ms. Hayd:

In your letter dated October 25, 2005, you requested a classification ruling for a woman’s beach robe. The garment will be returned, as requested.

Style JM5504 is a woman’s beach robe constructed from 68 percent cotton, 16 percent nylon, and 16 percent polyester knit fabric. The robe, which extends to mid thigh, has a full front opening with a tie closure, long sleeves, and a plain, hemmed bottom.

Based on its appearance, as well as the supporting marketing information, the garment is considered a beach robe.

The applicable subheading for style JM5504 will be 6108.91.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's...bathrobes and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton. The rate of duty will be 8.5% ad valorem.

Style JM5504 falls within textile category designation 350. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
