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

Dear Ms. McGrenahn:

In your letter dated February 21, 2006, you requested a classification ruling.

You submitted a sample plus components of style CB6222-B58213(2), a women’s knit v neck pullover, made of 100% acrylic fabric that measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The garment features a v neck, long sleeves, and rib knit cuffs and waistband. Your sample will be returned as you have requested.

Statistical Note 6 to Chapter 61 requires, among other things, that the components of a garment be knit to shape. The back panel of the garment, while having a self start bottom, self finished sides, and fashion marks for the armholes, does not have a continuous line of demarcation for the neckline.

The applicable subheading for style CB6222-B58213(2) will be 6110.30.3059, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, cardigansand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’: Other. The duty rate will be 32% 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/.

Style CB6222-B58213(2) falls within textile category designation 639. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” available at our web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, you will find current information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at otexa.ita.doc.gov.
