Dear Mr. Strough: In your letter dated September 11, 2019, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Nantong Huaqin Textile Decoration Co. Ltd. The samples will be returned to you under separate cover. You submitted samples of bib-style aprons. Each are composed of 100% polyester woven fabric.

One of the aprons contains one patch pocket at the chest measuring 5 ½ inches in length by 2 inches in width and two patch pockets at the waist measuring 8 inches by 8 inches. The other apron contains no pockets. The applicable subheading for both aprons would be 6211.43.1091, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for " Track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: Other garments, women's or girls': Of man-made fibers: Other: Other.
