RE: The tariff classification of women’s pajamas from China

Dear Ms. Parker:

In your letter dated November 14, 2006, you requested a classification ruling. The submitted sample will be returned to you as requested.

The submitted sample, style PP 358737, is a pair of women’s pajamas constructed from 100 percent polyester georgette woven fabric. The pajama top features a V-neckline, adjustable shoulder straps and side vents. The garment also has contrasting colored lace trim around the front neckline, front arm openings and diagonally across the front. The top back edge is cut straight across from side seam to side seam. The pajama bottom features an elasticized drawstring waist and long legs with a contrasting colored lace bottom.

The applicable subheading for PP 358737 will be 6208.22.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s or girls’ singlets and other under shirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: nightdresses and pajamas: of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 16 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

The pajamas fall within textile category 651.

The textile category number above applies to merchandise produced in non-WTO member-countries.
