RE: The tariff classification of four women’s knit pullovers from Macau

Dear Ms. Trimble:

In your letter dated July 8, 2003 you requested a classification ruling on behalf of August Silk, Inc., Edison, New Jersey. As requested, your samples are being returned to you.

The outer surface of the garment measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the horizontal direction. The front panel is constructed from five panels sewn together diagonally. The garment features a round neckline and sleeveless armholes all finished with rib knit fabric. The bottom of the garment is finished with decorative stitching.

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.
