All four articles have printed "Paddington Bear" designs and are made of 50% cotton fibers and 50% polyester fibers, by weight. Please note that even a slight change in these weight breakdowns may affect the classifications shown below.

The rate of duty will be 14.5 percent ad valorem. The fitted sheet, dust ruffle and comforter fall within textile category designation 666. Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa. No textile category number is currently assigned to merchandise classified under subheading 6307.90.9986, HTS. 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. 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 Section 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Jean F. Maguire Area Director New York Seaport
