Style 700 features a round hemmed neckline, short hemmed sleeves, and a hemmed bottom. Style 713 has a round hemmed neckline, sleeveless hemmed armholes, and a hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the women’s pullover will be 6110.30.3055, 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.

You have indicated in your letter that the fabric of each garment is a blend of 50% cotton, 50% polyester. Garments that are claimed to be constructed from such a blend are subject, upon importation, to laboratory analysis by the U.S. Customs Service to verify the actual weight of the component fibers. Please be advised that a slight variation from the above stated fiber content, may affect the classification of the subject garments.

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