RE:  The tariff classification of a girl's jumper from the Philippines

Dear Ms. Rathgeber :

     In your letter dated July 25,1996, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

     The submitted sample, Style SHS9712, is a toddler girl's denim jumper.  The garment
is cotton and features a scoop neckline, oversize armholes and a full front opening with a six
button closure.  The skirt portion is gathered at the high waist and has two front patch
pockets and a hemmed bottom.

     Your letter did not indicate the size(s) for which the jumper will be imported.  For
purposes of classification, we will assume that the garment will be imported in girls' sizes 2T-
4T.

     We are returning your samples as you requested. 

     The applicable subheading for the jumper, Style SHS9712, will be 6211.42.0060,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for track suits, ski-
suits and swimwear; other garments, other garments, women's or girls', of cotton, jumpers. 
The rate of duty will be 8.5% ad valorem.  

     The jumper falls within textile category designation 359.  Based upon textile trade
agreements, products of the Philippines are presently subject to quota restraints and visa
requirements.

     The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts.  If so, visa
and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected.  Since 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 Bruce Kirschner at 212-466-5865.
     
                                   Sincerely,
