RE:	The tariff classification of women's woven sleepwear from Hong Kong



Dear Ms. Redey:



	In your letter dated April 1, 1996, you requested a classification ruling.
The samples submitted with your request will be returned to you under separate
cover.

	

	Four styles of women's sleepwear garments were submitted with your request:
a nightgown, a pj unionsuit, a two piece pajama and a robe.  All of the garments
are made from 100% cotton flannel plaid woven fabric and have separate style
numbers to indicate sizes: regular, petite and tall.  You state that the
garments are purchased by your sleepwear buyer; will be advertized in a separate
section in your catalog along with other sleepwear garments; and have a generous
cut for sleeping comfort.



	Style 045-4827 (regular), 045-4828 (petite), and 045-4830 (tall) is a
nightdress.  The pullover nightgown extends from the shoulder to approximately
mid-calf and has a partial front opening secured by five (5) buttons, a rounded
neckline and long sleeves. 



	Style 045-4824 (regular), 045-4825 (petite), and 045-4826 (tall) is a
one-piece sleep garment resembling a unionsuit. The garment extends from the
shoulder to the ankle and has a partial front opening secured by six (6)
buttons, long sleeves and a drawcord tightening at the waist.  It also features
a left, chest pocket and two side seam pockets located below the waist.



	Style 045-4681 (regular), 045-4818 (petite), and 045-4823 (tall) consists
of two components: a pajama top and bottom.  The top is shirt-styled and has a
collar, a full front opening secured by five (5) buttons, a left chest pocket,
long sleeves and a straight bottom with two side vents.  The long pant has an
elastic waistband with a drawcord.  



	Style 045-4831 (regular), 045-4832 (petite), and 045-4833 (tall) is a robe.
 The robe extends to approximately the mid calf and has a full frontal opening
secured by a self-fabric sash, a notched collar, long sleeves and two patch
pockets located below the waist.



	The applicable subheading for the nightdress, one-piece pajama and the two
piece pajama will be 6208.21.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for Women's or girls' singlets and other
undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas,
negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: Nightdresses and
pajamas: Of cotton: With two or more colors in the warp and\or the filling.



	The applicable subheading for the robe will be 6208.91.1010, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Women's or
girls'...bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: Other:  of cotton:
Bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles: Women's.



	The nightdress, one-piece pajama and the two piece pajama fall within
textile category designation 351; the robe within textile category 350.  Based
upon international textile trade agreements products of Hong Kong are subject to
quota restraints and a visa requirement.



	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.  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 Part 177 of the Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).



	A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported.  If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National
Import Specialist Patricia Schiazzano at (212) 466-5866.
