Two pockets with zippered closures are located on the front of the vest below the waist. The hemmed bottom, which falls below the waist, has a slightly longer shirttail style in back. The armholes are oversized. You state the vest will be imported in Boys’ sizes 4-7. In accordance with your request, the sample vest will be returned to you.

The applicable subheading for the Boys’ 100% Polyester Knit Polar Fleece Vest will be 6110.30.3030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Other: Vests, other than sweater vests: Men’s or boys’.

Customs Service, which is available at the Customs Web Site at WWW.CUSTOMS.GOV. In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts.

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