The dress features a ribbed cowl collar, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed bottom. A partial cable knit pattern is on the front panel and sleeves.

The applicable subheading for the dress will be 6104.43.1010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s dresses, knitted: of synthetic fibers: containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair: women’s.
