Dear Ms. Murray:
In your letter dated June 30, 2014, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, your sample will be returned.

The outer surface of the garment’s fabric measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction that the stitches were formed. The pullover features a scoop front neckline, a high rear neckline, plastic beading sewn on the front panel and a straight hemmed bottom. The garment extends to below the waist. The knit fabric which forms the pullover body imparts the essential character.
