Dear Ms. Cirrone:
In your letter dated April 12, 2011, you requested a tariff classification ruling for a woman’s knit top.
The submitted sample, Style #80758, is woman’s top constructed from 90% polyester, and 10% spandex knit fabric. The front of the garment is twisted at the chest area and features a V-shaped neckline in front, long sleeves, and overlock stitching finishing the bottom. The top provides sufficient coverage of the bust.
We are returning your sample as requested.
The applicable subheading for the top, Style #80758, will be 6114.30.1020 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other garments, knitted or crocheted, of man-made fibers: Tops, Women’s or girls’. The rate of duty will be 28.2% 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/.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
