RE: The tariff classification of two women’s knitted garments from China; applicability of HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 6.

Dear Ms. Cumins:

In your letter dated April 28, 2006, on behalf of your client Milliard, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

Following is a description of two samples that you have submitted and the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) provisions that apply.

Style Number: 201700
Garment Description: Long sleeved, V-neckline pullover constructed from 70% rayon and 30% nylon knit fabric. The garment has rib knit cuffs, and a ribbed knit bottom. HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 3 Stitch Count: over 9 stitches. HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 6 Stitch Count: less than 18 stitches. Component Construction: All components are knit to shape and assembled by linking and looping. Garment is knit to shape. HTSUS Number: 6110.30.3057
Textile Category Number: 639

Style Number: 31600
Garment Description: Long sleeved upper body garment constructed from 55% cotton, and 45% acrylic knit fabric. The garment has a hood, deep V-neckline, and a rib knit bottom. The garment does not have sufficient bust coverage. HTSUS Number: 6114.20.0060
Textile Category Number: 359

Although you have suggested that Style 31600 be classified as a pullover in heading 6110.20.2077, the submitted garment does not have sufficient bust coverage, and therefore classified in heading 6114.20.0060 as an other upper body garment.

To view the tariff language and current duty rates that correspond to these HTSUS provisions, please refer to the text of the most recent HTSUS, which is available on the World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
