Dear Mr. Plenby: In your letter dated February 29, 1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling for women's pajama separates. The samples are being returned, as you requested. The submitted samples consist of two pajama tops, pajama pants and pajama shorts. The garments will be knit, and constructed from two different fabrics. In white, the fiber content will be 100% cotton; in heather grey, the fiber content will be 80% cotton, 20% polyester. The fabric is lightweight. Style F96210 is a woman's ribbed knit pajama top with two patch pockets at the waist, long sleeves, a V-neckline, and a full front opening. Style F96240 is a ribbed knit pajama short with an elasticized waistband and a false 2 button fly front. Style F96211 is a ribbed knit pajama top with a full front opening, long sleeves, and a rounded neckline with small floral applique. Style F96230 is a plain jersey knit pajama pant with an elasticized waistband and a two button false fly front. The fabric of the garments is soft, and the garments are sized for a comfortable fit. You also noted in your letter that these garments will be sold as a "mix and match" group within the sleepwear departments. If the tops and bottoms are imported in equal quantities on the same shipment, the applicable subheading for the set will be 6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's knit pajamas of cotton. The rate of duty will be 8.9 percent ad valorem. If the items are imported separately, the applicable subheading for each of the garments will be 6108.91.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Women's knit pajamas...and similar articles of cotton. The rate of duty will be 8.9 percent ad valorem. If imported as a set, the pajamas fall within the textile category designation 351; If imported separately, each garment falls within textile category designation 350. Based upon international textile trade agreements, garments imported from Turkey are subject to a visa requirement and quota restraints. The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since 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 this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Angela De Gaetano at 212-466-5540. Sincerely, Roger J. Silvestri Director National Commodity Specialist Division
