The brassiere features a scoop neckline, a two ply front, elasticized trim at the top edges of the garment, a keyhole opening at the back and a fabric covered heavy elastic band sewn at the bottom hem.

The applicable subheading for Style K36EN10 will be 6212.10.9020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides Brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted: brassiere: other: other . . . of man-made fibers.
