Style 30706 features a rib knit crew neckline; short sleeves with rib knit cuffs; and a straight, hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for Style 30706 will be 6109.10.0027, 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’: other. The duty rate will be 16.5% ad valorem.
