RE: The tariff classification of three women’s cardigans and a woman’s jacket from China.

Dear Ms. Scott:

In your letter dated March 10, 2006, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Tommy Bahama Group Inc. As requested, your samples are being returned to you.

Style 63TW5192 is a woman’s cardigan constructed from 98% cotton, 2% spandex knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The garment features a mock collar, a full front zippered opening, long hemmed sleeves, two zippered pockets, and a hemmed bottom. The components of the garment are sewn together. Thus, it does not meet the requirements of statistical note 6, Chapter 61, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Style 63TW5191 is a woman’s cardigan constructed from 96% cotton, 4% spandex knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The garment features a mock collar, long hemmed sleeves, a full front opening with nine snap closures, two front pockets, and a hemmed bottom. The components of the garment are sewn together. Thus, it does not meet the requirements of statistical note 6, Chapter 61, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Style 63TW5199 is a woman’s jacket constructed from 98% cotton, 2% spandex knit fabric. The garment features a mock collar, long sleeves with rib knit cuffs, a full front zippered opening, an a rib knit bottom that provides a tightening at the waist.

The garment features a mock collar, a full front zippered opening, long sleeves with cuffs with snaps, two flap pockets, two side-entry pockets, decorative embroidery, and a banded bottom.
