RE: The tariff classification of a girls’ pullover from China.

Your submitted sample, style 214413 is a girl’s pullover constructed from 70% cotton, 30% nylon knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment measures between 9 and 18 stitches per two centimeters in the direction in which the fabric is formed. The garment features a hood, V-neckline, a rib-knit bottom, long sleeves with rib-knit cuffs and a woven ribbon sewn to the inside of the garment where the hood is attached to the body. The ribbon extends beyond the rear neck seam. The pullover does not meet the requirements of Statistical Note 6, Chapter 61, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), because the ribbon extends beyond the interior rear neckline seam.
