The top features a notched collar, long hemmed sleeves and a full front opening secured by three buttons. The footed, pull-on bottom features a fully encased elasticized waistband. This pajama will also be imported in a printed cotton fabric under style 3347A. The applicable subheading for style 3347 will be 6208.21.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's woven pajamas of cotton, with two or more colors in the warp and/or the filling.

In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
