RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s garment similar to a tank top, from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. De Silva:

In your letter dated January 18, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample, Style #PP288553, is a woman’s garment that is similar to a tank top. The sample extends below the waist, and is constructed from 95% cotton, and 5% spandex knit fabric. The sleeveless garment features a modified U-shaped neckline in front and back, shoulder straps measuring approximately 1 ” in width, a shelf-bra insert, a decorative tie at the back, and a hemmed bottom.

We are returning your sample as you requested.

The applicable subheading for Style PP288553 will be 6109.10.0070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted, of cotton, women’s, other. The rate of duty will be 16.5% ad valorem.

Style pp288553 falls within textile category designation 339. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
