The submitted sample, Style #ON858 is a toddler girl's 100% cotton jumper. The garment is woven and features a scoop neckline, oversize armholes, and adjustable shoulder straps with two buttons, measuring approximately 2 inches in width. The jumper also has a front chest patch pocket and a hemmed bottom. In a telephone conversation with you on 12/20/96, you stated that the garment will be imported for your Spring selling season. You state in your letter that the jumper will be imported in sizes 2T, 3T and 4T. We are returning your sample as you requested.

The rate of duty will be 8.5% ad valorem. The rate of duty as of January 1, 1997 will be 8.4% ad valorem The jumper falls within textile category designation 359. Based upon textile trade agreements, products of Hong Kong 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 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, Roger J.
