The submitted sample, style F30158E, is a woman’s cardigan that is constructed of 70% merino wool and 30% cashmere knit fabric. The outer surface of the fabric measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction that the stitches were formed. The body of the garment is pieced constructed. The cardigan extends to below the waist and features a v-shaped neckline, a full front opening with five button closures, decorative stitching on the upper back panel, long sleeves with elbow patches and a 3x1 rib knit finish at the sleeve endings, and a 3x1 rib knit finish at the garment bottom.

The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be 6110.11.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of wool or fine animal hair: of woolother: women’s.
