RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit halter-top from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Monahan:

The submitted sample, Style #S114251, is a woman’s halter-top constructed from 100% cotton jersey knit fabric. The garment extends below the waist and features a modified U-shaped neckline in front, narrow straps that tie around the neck, a full zipper opening at both sides, and a hemmed bottom. The garment does not provide shoulder or upper back coverage.

We are returning your sample as you requested.

The applicable subheading for Style S114251, will be 6114.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other garments, knitted or crocheted of cotton, tops, women’s. The rate of duty will be 10.9% ad valorem.

Style S114251 falls within textile category designation 339. Based upon international textile trade agreements this category from Hong Kong is presently subject to quota restraints visa requirements.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
