Dear Mr. Aives:

In your letter dated May 21, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As per your conversation with Anna Maria Bastone, this ruling is on behalf of Cintas. The provided sample is being returned as per your request.

The garment features a ribbed knit collar and a ribbed knit finish at the cuffs and garment bottom.

The applicable subheading for style 82034-01 will be 6110.30.3059, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other: Women’s: other.
