RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s cardigan and a woman’s suit-type jacket from China.

Dear Ms. Malina:

In your letter dated December 6, 2007 you requested a classification ruling. As requested, your samples are being returned to you.

Style number 192792 is a woman’s milano double knit cardigan that is constructed from 100% silk knitted fabric. The outer surface of the cardigan measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction that the stitches were formed. The loose fitting garment features a notched-lapel collar, a full front opening with three button closures, long sleeves, and two patch pockets at the front waist area. Jersey capping (lacks a self-start bottom) is found on the lapel collar, down the front opening, and on the garment bottom.

Style number 243908 is a woman’s suit-type jacket which extends to the waist. The garment is constructed from 100% cotton knitted fabric. The garment has two front panels and one back panel that are sewn together lengthwise. The suit-type jacket features a notched-lapel collar, long sleeves with two button vented cuffs, a full front opening with three button closures, and two front inset pockets. The collar, sleeve vents, and the top of the pockets are finished with capping.
