The pullover features a layered scoop neckline, ¾ length sleeves with layered ribbed cuffs, a partial front opening with an 11 button layered placket, and a ribbed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the pullover will be 6110.20.2079, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for pullovers, knitted: of cotton: otherother: women’s. The duty rate will be 16.5% ad valorem.
