Dear Mr. Plenby: In your letter dated May 5, 1997, on behalf of your client Target, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted samples are described as follows: Style #33-Jump2 - an infant's 100% polyester fleece knit jumper. The garment features a scoop neck, and shoulder straps measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches wide at the shoulder seams. The jumper also has oversize armhole openings (which makes it inappropriate for use alone), and a hemmed bottom. Style #97-Jump - a toddler girl's 100% polyester fleece knit jumper. The garment features a scoop neck, and shoulder straps measuring approximately 1 1/2 inches wide at the shoulder seams. The jumper also has oversize armhole openings (which makes it inappropriate for use alone), and a hemmed bottom.

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.
