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

Dear Mr. Maher:

In your letter dated March 8, 2006, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of SML Sport Ltd.

You submitted a sample of a women’s knit pullover identified as style KE4299. The pullover is constructed of 100% cotton and 20% nylon knit fabric that measures more than 9 stitches but equal to or less than 18 stitches per 2 centimeters measured on the outer surface of the fabric in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The long sleeved garment features a deep v neckline. The neckband fabric does not have a self start bottom. The back panel only displays two marker holes to indicate where the neck is to be formed. The garment does not meet the requirements of statistical note 6 to chapter 61. The garment will be returned as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for style KE4299 will be 6110.20.2079, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, cardigansand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’: Other. The duty rate will be 16.5% 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/.
