RE: The tariff classification of women’s halter-styled garment from China

Dear Ms. Dairo:

In your letter dated May 3 2006, you requested a classification ruling. A sample was submitted and is being returned as you requested.

Style 8212-6 is a women’s halter-styled upper body garment constructed from 40% cotton, 37% polyester, 19% rayon and 4% spandex woven fabric. The sleeveless, tailored garment is lined and features a notched lapel, a deep V-neckline, two inset pockets at the waist and a full front opening with a two button closure. The front panels extend into a halter that is worn around the neck, leaving the arms, shoulders and most of the back bare.

The applicable subheading for style 8212-6 will be 6211.43.0091, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments, women’s or girls’: of man-made fibers: other. The duty rate will be 16 percent 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/.
