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

Dear Ms. Gong:

In your letter dated March 23, 2006, you requested a classification ruling.

The knit fabric, constructed of 75% rayon, 25% nylon, measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. For purposes of Statistical Note 6 to Chapter 61, the stitch count is more than 9 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. All of these components are considered knit to shape and all are linked and looped together.
