RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knit tank top from China.

Dear Ms. Fox:

In your letter dated August 7, 2006, you requested a classification ruling for a woman’s knit garments. The samples will be returned, as requested.

Style 440957 is a woman’s tank top constructed from 100 percent cotton rib knit fabric. The garment has a U-shaped neckline in front and back and ½ inch shoulder straps. The neckline, armholes, and bottom all have unfinished edges.

The applicable subheading for style 440957 will be 6109.10.0060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Tank tops knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Women’s. The duty rate will be 16.5 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

The tank top falls within textile category designation 339. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information as to whether quota and visa requirements apply to this merchandise, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” available at our web site at www.cbp.gov. In addition, you will find current information on textile import quotas, textile safeguard actions and related issues at the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel, at otexa.ita.doc.gov.

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

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Angela De Gaetano at 646-733-3052.
