The garment features a v-shaped neckline with a gathered effect at the center, hemmed short sleeves and a hemmed garment bottom.

The applicable subheading for style PP# 1059364 will be 6110.20.2079, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: Women’s: other.
