RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit pullover from China

Dear Ms. Stattman:

In your letter dated January 30, 2006, you requested a classification ruling.

You submitted a sample of style 1247, a woman’s knit pullover made of 55% acrylic and 45% cotton fiber. The outer surface of the knit fabric measures more than 9 but equal to or less than 18 stitches per 2 centimeters in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The garment is constructed to simulate a cardigan and pullover set. The front of the garment is constructed with three panels, an interior full panel, which has a jewel neckline, and two outer panels, which serve to simulate a v neck cardigan. The garment also features ¾ length sleeves, six buttons with corresponding buttonholes on the “cardigan” panels, a straight self start rib knit bottom, and interior shoulder pads. The knit to shape front, back and sleeve components all feature self start bottoms and self finished sides. Full fashion marks are evident around the armhole of the garment. All of the components of the garment are looped and linked together. Your garment will be returned as you have requested.
