Dear Ms. Yu: In your letter dated January 6, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling. You submitted a sample of a child size costume identified as item number 727374. The man-made textile dress features large, visible, loose overlock stitching on the neck and deep back opening which is closed with a single small tab of hook and loop fastener. The short sleeves also have large, visible, loose overlock stitching. A plastic cameo is permanently attached at the front neck. The flimsy half elastic waist consists of a strip of exposed elastic stitched directly to the back of the dress with one row of long, loose straight stitching. The hem bottom has large, visible, loose overlock stitching on the skirt layers. Although the dress has some gathering, it is not well-made. The applicable subheading for child size costume, item number 727374, will be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Festive, carnival or other entertainment articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and accessories thereof: Other: Other.” The rate of duty will be Free.
