RE: The tariff classification of an adult from Costume China, Taiwan,
India and Vietnam.

Dear Ms. Tsiavos:

In your letter dated June 4, 2007, you requested a classification
ruling. The sample will be returned to you.

The submitted sample, Style 101444, Gilligan's Island - Skipper Costume
Set Adult consists of a Men's shirt made of knit 100% polyester fabric,
flimsy pants, fake belly and hat.

The Men's shirt has short sleeves and a pointed collar with a three
button placket that closes left over right.

The costume is well made with a finished neck, and styling.

General Rule of Interpretation (GRI) 3(b) is applicable when goods are,
prima facie, classifiable under two or more headings, and have been put
up in sets for retail sale. GRI 3(b) states that the goods "shall be
classified as if they consisted of the material or component which gives
them their essential character." In this case, the Men's shirt imparts
the essential character of the set.

The applicable subheading for Style 101444, Gilligan's Island -- Skipper
Costume Set - Adult will be 6105.20.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), which provides for \"Men's or boys' shirts,
