Re: The Tariff Classification of a Girls' Two-piece Cotton Playsuit from
China

Dear Mr. Armani:

In your letter dated February 15, 2001, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

The sample submitted, Style 1X50823, consists of two garments: a Girls'
100% Cotton Knit Top and a Girls' 100% Cotton Woven Denim Shortall. You
state the playsuit will have a separate hangtag, visible to the
consumer, that will indicate the garment is a two-piece set.

The Girls' 100% Cotton Knit Top features elastic at the neckline with a
rib bow closure; elastic cap sleeves; a straight hemmed bottom; and
shoulder loops to hold the shoulder straps of the shortall in place.
Embroidered flowers on the cap sleeves match the embroidered flowers on
the shortall. The Girls' 100% Cotton Denim Shortall features a false
fly; two front scoop pockets, a coin pocket, a patch pocket on the bib,
and two rear patch pockets. The shortall has permanently attached
shoulder straps that clip in front, and metal button closures at the
waist. Embroidered flowers on the bib front pocket and the left leg
match the embroidered flowers on the knit top. The name "Barbie" is
embroidered among the flowers on the shortall leg. You state the size
range will be Girls' 2-4T and 4-6X. The sample will be returned to you
as requested.

The applicable subheading for the Girls' 100% Cotton Knit Top will be
