RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s sweater from China.

Dear Ms. Mendoza:

In your letter dated April 7, 2008, you requested a classification ruling. Your sample is being returned as requested.

The submitted sample, style F3001HV, is a woman’s double-breasted reverse jersey knit sweater. You state that the submitted sample is 100% cashmere but the production garment will be constructed from 70% merino wool and 30% cashmere. The outer surface of the fabric measures less than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters in the direction that the stitches were formed. The garment features a ribbed turn down collar, long sleeves with ribbed cuffs, ribbed one-button shoulder tabs, a full front opening, a ribbed placket with 4 button closures and 4 non-functional buttons, 2 front inset pockets with ribbed openings, and a ribbed bottom.

The applicable subheading for the sweater will be 6110.11.0030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, knitted: of wool or fine animal hair: of wool: women’s. The duty rate will be 16% ad valorem.
