Dear Mr. Rave:

In your letter dated July 6, 2006, you requested a classification ruling for a woman’s knit shirt. The submitted sample will be returned to you, as requested.

The shirt has a stand-up collar, a partial front opening with a zipper closure, long sleeves, and a hemmed bottom. You have indicated that the garment is an insect repellant shirt.

The applicable subheading for the shirt will be 6106.20.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Women’s blouses or shirts, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers. The duty rate will be 32% ad valorem.
