RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s tank top, from various countries.

Dear Ms. Stecklair:

In your letter dated March 18, 2004, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The garment is sleeveless, extends below the waistline and features a modified U-shaped neckline in front, shoulder straps measuring approximately 5/8” in width, a tub-bra insert, and a tubular bottom. The garment is decorated with 5/16” and 1/8” sequins on the front and back panels.

We are returning your sample as you requested.

The applicable subheading for the Tank Top, Style 20636 will be 6109.90.8030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: Of other textile materials, other women’s or girls’, other.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts.
