Style Number: A70227901 (Composed of two separate garments tacked together at the left shoulder). The two garments may be easily detached from each other without damage to either one. They are therefore classified as separate garments. Garment Description: The pullover of Style A70227901 is sleeveless, constructed from 100% cotton knit fabric, and features a U-shaped neckline and a hemmed bottom. HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 3 Stitch Count: over 9 stitches. Component Construction: The garment is cut and sewn. HTSUS Number: 6110.20.2079
HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 6 Stitch Count: more than 18 stitches. Textile Category Number: 339

Style Number: A70227901 (Composed of two separate garments tacked together at the left shoulder). The two garments may be easily detached from each other without damage to either one. They are therefore classified as separate garments.

HTSUS Number: 6114.20.0060
