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

Dear Ms. Fox:

This letter replaces NY M83356 that was issued to you on June 2, 2006 on behalf of Peninsula Global, Inc. In that letter, Style LCS07985 was not considered knit to shape because of the construction of the neckband component.

On June 26, 2006, you submitted new components for this style. An examination of the new components indicates that the construction of the neckband has been changed to have a self-start bottom and self-finished sides. However, the submitted garment and the submitted components do not match. The neckband of the submitted garment is different from the neckband component.

Style Number: LCS07985

Garment Description: Men’s pullover, 100% cotton; double knit fabric, jersey knit mitered V-neckline, long sleeves with tubular knit cuffs, tubular knit bottom.

HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 3 Stitch Count: 13 stitches per 2 centimeters HTSUS Chapter 61 Statistical Note 6 Stitch Count: 13 stitches per 2 centimeters

Garment Construction: Not knit to shape
The neckband on the garment and the submitted component do not match. The neckband on the garment does not have a self-start bottom.

HTSUS Number: 6110.20.2069
Textile Category Number: 338
