The garment extends below the waist and features a modified U-shaped neckline in front, a straight neckline in back, an opening at the left side with a three snap closure, shoulder straps measuring less than 2 inches in width, and a self-finished bottom.

The applicable subheading for the tank top, Style 48153 will be 6109.10.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women's tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted, of cotton, women’s, tank tops. The rate of duty will be 16.5% ad valorem.
