The shoulder straps are an extension of the capping used to finish the front and back neckline and the armholes.

The applicable subheading for the nightgown will be 6108.31.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Nightdressesknitted or crocheted: Of cotton. The duty rate will be 8.5 percent ad valorem.

The nightgown falls within textile category designation 351. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
