RE: The tariff classification of women’s knit pullovers from China

Dear Ms. Evans:

In your letter dated December 20, 2005, you requested a classification ruling.

Two garments, identified as styles 23070 and 23116 were submitted and will be returned as you have requested.

Style 23070 is a finely knit pullover, featuring a u shaped neckline and cap sleeves. Style 23116 is a sleeveless pullover, also with a u shaped neckline. Both garments feature capping fabric fastened over cut panels which are stitched to prevent unraveling. Additionally, both garments are made of fabric whose fiber content is 53% rayon and 47% nylon. The fabric of these garments is made up of rib knit fabric of five different stitch counts, most of which are over 20 stitches per 2 centimeters.

The applicable subheading for both the garments will be 6110.30.3059, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pulloversand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’: Other. The duty rate will be 32% ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
