Dear Ms. Espinoza:

In your letter dated July 12, 2006, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Wal-Mart Stores.

Style 4805 is a pair of men’s “Remington” brand thermal long underpants constructed of a heavyweight 100% cotton double knit fabric. The long underpants feature a ribbed knit fabric covered elasticized waistband measuring approximately 1-1/2 inches wide, an open fly front, and rib-knit cuffs on the legs.

The applicable subheading for Style 4804 will be 6109.10.0011, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Men's or boys': Thermal undershirts.
