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

Dear Mr. Ralston:

In your letter dated January 20, 2006, on behalf Tribal Sportswear of Montreal, Canada, you requested a classification ruling. Your samples are being returned as requested.

You submitted three samples of women’s knit garments.

The garments which are made of knit to shape components which are linked and looped together, all meet the requirements of knit to shape garments in Chapter 61, note 6 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Style number 41160-418 is a cardigan that is constructed from 45% viscose, 35% nylon, 15% cotton, 5% cashmere, knit fabric. The cardigan features a V-neckline, long tubular hemmed sleeves, a full front opening with 9 hook and eye closures, and a tubular hemmed bottom. The neckline and placket are finished with decorative beadwork.

The applicable subheading for the three garments will be 6110.30.3057, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pulloversand similar articles, knitted: of manmade fibers: other. other: women’s: knit to shape articles described in statistical note 6 to this chapter.
