RE: The tariff classification of a cardigan from China

Dear Ms. Fox:

In your letter dated March 8, 2006, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Jones Apparel Group.

A sample identified as style VFPB63488 was submitted, along with its component parts. The garment is a cardigan, made of 58% rayon and 42% nylon knit fabric. The garment features long sleeves, and a full front opening that is closed by means of a tie which is knit to shape, and fastened by linking to the v shaped neckline of the garment. The fully knit to shape ends extend beyond to form the belt. This contrasting neck/belt fabric is complemented by a matching band of knit to shape fabric that is linked to the waistline of the garment. The outer surface of the garment 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 component pieces meet the knit to shape requirements of statistical note 6 to chapter 61, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS). Your sample will be returned as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for style VFPB63488 will be 6110.30.3057, HTSUS, which provides for sweaters, cardigansand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’: Knit to shape articles described in statistical note 6 to this chapter. The duty rate will be 32% ad valorem.
