RE: The tariff classification of a men's knit shirt from New Zealand.
Dear Mr. Wong:
In your letter dated December 1, 1994, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The sample features long sleeves with rib knit cuffs; a left over right, partial front opening with three button closures; a self fabric spread collar with an underside of woven chambray fabric; a chambray fabric half-moon on the inside upper back panel; an embroidered logo on the left chest; and a hemmed bottom with side slits and a tail.
The applicable subheading for Style No. 3201-2 will be 6105.10.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for: men's or boys' shirts, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: men's. The duty rate will be 21 percent ad valorem.
