Style 1150 is a woman’s tube top constructed from 95% cotton/5% spandex finely knit fabric. The abbreviated garment has no shoulder or neck coverage and does not reach the waist.

Your samples will be returned as requested.

The applicable subheading for style 2000-314 will be 6110.20.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sweaters, pulloversand similar articles, knitted or crocheted. The rate of duty will be 18.2% ad valorem.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
