NY L85767 July 21, 2005 CLA-2-62:RR:NC:TA:N3 356 L85767 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 6203.42.4015 Mr. Thomas G. Travis Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, P.A. The Waterford 5200 Blue Lagoon Drive Miami, FL 33126-2022 RE: The tariff classification of men’s woven lounge pants from Cambodia. Dear Mr. Travis: In your letter dated June 17, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Kellwood Company. As requested, your sample will be returned. Style 4000 is a pair of men’s lounge pants constructed from 100 percent cotton, woven flannel fabric. The pants have a tunnel elastic waistband with an outside drawstring, a fly front opening with a single button closure, side seam pockets, and hemmed legs. Although you state that Style 4000 will have a hangtag stating that the garment is sleepwear, garments of this style and construction are advertised and marketed as multi-use garments. The presence of the button on the fly provides sufficient closure for wear in and around the home. As such, they are not classified in heading 6207, which is limited to garments that are designed for wear solely to bed for sleeping. The applicable subheading for Style 4000 will be 6203.42.4015, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for men’s or boys’…trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: of cotton: other: other: trousers and breeches: men’s: other. The duty rate is 16.6 percent ad valorem. Style 4000 falls within textile category designation 347.
