Dear Sirs,

Commercial Information Circular No. 146/2008

US : Informed Compliance Publication on Classification of Children's Apparel

The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has recently issued a revised version of its informed compliance publication (ICP) entitled "What Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Classification of Children's Apparel".

  1. The ICP provides guidance regarding the tariff classification of children's apparel, including information on babies' wear, babies' sets and retail sets, sizes, styling features, special classification treatment for two-piece playsuits, as well as coverage and use of children's wear. It also contains useful information on the invoicing and marking requirements and a glossary of children's wear terms.

  2. Because of the bulkiness of the ICP, it is not appended to this circular. Interested parties may download it from the CBP's website at:

  1. For enquiries concerning the content of this circular, please contact Miss S Y TANG at telephone number 2398 5405.

Yours faithfully,
