The garment features a mock collar, long sleeves with hemmed cuffs, a full front zippered opening, two front vertical pockets, and a hemmed bottom. The placket, bottom, sleeves, and seams are finished with piping.

The applicable subheading for style SP06-N98 will be 6110.20.2075, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: women’s.
