The outer surface of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The garment features a full front opening with zippered closure, long sleeves with hems, two front zippered pockets and a straight hemmed bottom. Your sample will be returned as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for style G5007 will be 6110.30.3055, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pulloversand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’.
