Dear Ms. Family: In your letter, dated April 15, 2015, on behalf of your client, Primark US Corp, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples are being returned to you, as requested. Style 0006202 is a pair of women’s sleep pants, made in India, constructed from 100% cotton knit fabric. The loose fitting pull on pants feature a 1 ½ inch wide waistband through which an inner drawstring is threaded and rib knit cuffs at the ankles. Style 4896211 is a pair of women’s pants, made in China, constructed from 55% polyester and 45% cotton knit fabric. The pants extend from the waist to the ankles and feature a waistband with an inner drawstring and banded leg openings. Style 9998217 is a pair of women’s pants, made in Great Britian, constructed from 100% cotton knit fabric. The pants extend from the waist to the ankles and feature a wide elasticized waistband and hemmed leg openings. The applicable subheading for Style 0006202 will be 6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for which provides for Women’s or girls’ slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Nightdresses and pajamas: Of cotton: Women’s.
