It is a pullover with a woven banded collar and front placket, and woven long sleeve with cuffs, all of the foregoing made of 100% cotton woven fabric. These sleeves and collar components are joined to a finely knit v necked pullover, which is made of 55% silk, 23% viscose, and 22% nylon knit fabric. The essential character of the garment is imparted by its portion.

The applicable subheading for style 5166200 will be 6110.90.9090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pulloversand similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of other textile materials: Other: Other: Other: Women’s or girls’.
