RE: The tariff classification of women\'s shirts and jacket from
Bangladesh, Turkey and Vietnam

Dear Ms. Weiss:

In your letter dated May 22, 2003, you requested a tariff classification
ruling on behalf of Norton McNaughton, Inc.

The submitted sample, style 63085, is a woman's shirt constructed from
100 percent cotton canvas woven fabric. The shirt features long sleeves,
a hood, kangaroo pockets below the waist and a full front zippered
opening.

The submitted sample, style 63086, is a woman's jacket constructed from
100 percent cotton canvas woven fabric. The jacket features long
sleeves, a hood, side seam pockets below the waist and a full front
zippered opening. The jacket has a ribbed knit waist, cuffs and ribbed
knit trim around the hood.

The submitted sample, style 63104, is a woman's shirt constructed from
100 percent cotton twill woven fabric. The garment is identical in
styling to style 63085.

The applicable subheading for style 63086 will be 6202.92.2061,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks
(including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including
padded, sleeveless jackets), other than those of heading 6204:
overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and similar articles: of cotton:
other: other: other: women\'s. The rate of duty will be 9 percent ad
valorem.

The applicable subheading for styles 63085 and 63104 will be
6211.42.0056, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments:
other garments, women's or girls': of cotton: blouses, shirts and
shirt-blouses, sleeveless tank styles and similar upper body garments
excluded from heading 6206: other. The rate of duty will be 8.2 percent
ad valorem.

Style 63086 falls within textile category designation 335 and styles
63085 and 63104 fall within textile category designation 341. Based upon
international textile trade agreements products of Bangladesh and Turkey
are currently subject to quota restraints and a visa requirement.
Products of Vietnam are currently subject to quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa
status are the result of international agreements that are subject to
frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current
information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment,
the [Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas]{.underline}, which is
available at our Web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, the designated
textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa
and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be
affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R.).

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
