Submitted style 71974, manufactured from yarn-dyed fabric of 100% cotton, is a loose-fitting, A-line, sleeveless, round-necked garment, ornamented by embroidery and by textile appliques at the lower portion of the front, which zippers together vertically at the mid-section of the back.. Submitted style 71973, manufactured from moleskin fabric of 60% cotton/40% polyester, differs from style 71974 by the mock empire-waist styling, which is created by a narrow strip of applique, and by the embroidered and appliqued pocket located at each side of the lower front of the garment. The two sample garments are being retained for reference purposes by the U.S. Customs Service. The applicable subheading for the two styles will be 6211.42.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for …other garments, …girls’, of cotton, jumpers. The duty rate will be 8.2 per cent ad valorem. The jumpers fall within textile category designation 359.

If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
