In your letter dated February 7, 2006, you requested a classification ruling.

The submitted sample, style number H06:082AX-C230, is a woman’s cardigan that is constructed from 100% acrylic knit fabric. The fabric of the garment measures more than 9 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. For purposes of Statistical Note 6 to Chapter 61, the stitch count is more than 9 but equal to or less than 18 stitches per 2 centimeters measured on the outer surface of the fabric in the direction in which the stitches were formed. The garment features a V-neckline, long sleeves, and a full front opening with 7 hook and eye closures. The neckline, the sleeves, and the bottom are finished with fake fur and organza ruffled narrow trimming. The front panel, the back panel, and the sleeves are knit to shape with full fashion marks at the armholes. All the components are looped and linked to form the finished garment.

The applicable subheading for the cardigan will be 6110.30.3057, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweatersand similar articles, knitted: of man made fibers: otherother: women’s: knit to shape articles described in statistical note 6 to this chapter.
