Box 5156 Old Bridge, NJ 08857 RE: The tariff classification of an infant’s costume from Korea, Indonesia, China and Thailand. Dear Mr. Choi: In your letter dated November 21, 2011, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample will be returned to you. The submitted sample, identified as style F71812, Dress Costume, is an infant’s sized (18-24 months) garment that resembles a witch’s dress, which is comprised of both knit and woven polyester fabrics. The dress has a gathered, multi-layered skirt, attached capelet, a double-layered string tie closure, and an attached, partially lined hood that resembles a witch hat. The bodice, sleeves, capelet and hood are all constructed of knit fabric, while the skirts are of woven construction. The dress is constructed primarily from knit fabric, which provides the greatest visual impact and imparts the essential character to the dress. A star, made of felt, is sewn in to the seam at the peak of the hood. The garment also features a capped neckline, a reinforced waist, sturdy seams and finished edges. The applicable subheading for style F71812 will be 6111.30.5070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: Of synthetic fibers: Other, Other: Other."
