The garment extends below the waist and features a U-shaped neckline, shoulder straps measuring less than 2 inches in width, screen-printed designs on the front and back panels, and a tubular bottom.

The applicable subheading for the tank top, Style KK270085K, will be 6109.90.8020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted, other, women’s, of wool. The rate of duty will be 16% ad valorem.
