NY 816867 December 08, 1995 CLA-2-61:RR:NC:WA:359 816867 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 6104.42.0010 Ms. Micki Mallory Nike, Inc. One Bowerman Drive Beaverton, OR 97005-6453 RE: The tariff classification of a woman's dress from Thailand. Dear Ms. Mallory: In your letter dated November 7, 1995 you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample, style number 24012, is a woman's dress, which you call a "tennis dress", constructed from 57% cotton, 28% polyester, 15% spandex, knit fabric. The dress features a square neckline; shoulder straps that cross in the back; and a hemmed bottom. The dress extends from the shoulder to the mid-thigh area. You state in your letter that the production garments will include a tennis emblem patch on the left chest and an embroidered Nike logo on the right hem. Your sample is being returned as requested. The applicable subheading for the dress will be 6104.42.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's dresses. The duty rate will be 12.1% ad valorem. Style 24012 falls within textile category designation 336. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of Thailand are subject to quota restraints and the requirement of a visa. 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. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mike Crowley at 212-466-5852. Sincerely, Roger J. Silvestri Director National Commodity Specialist Division
