RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s garment from China.

Dear Mr. Kamnitz:

In your letter dated July 18, 2005, you requested a classification ruling for a garment on behalf of Loyaltex Apparel, Limited. The garment will be returned, as requested.

The upper body garment extends from the shoulders to approximately two inches above the waist in back, has long sleeves, and a full front opening with a one button closure just above the bust. The garment has minimal front coverage.

The applicable subheading for style 5S809 will be 6114.20.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other garments, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Other: women’s or girls’. The duty rate will be 10.8% ad valorem.
