This 1X1 rib knit fabric weighs 240 g/m2 and will be imported in tubular form with a width of 61 centimeters. Style Gar-2 is a circular knitted fabric of interlock construction that is composed of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Weighing 210 g/m2, this item will be imported in 178 centimeter widths. Style Gar-3 is a circular knit fabric of drop needle interlock construction that is composed of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Weighing 210 g/m2, this item will be imported in 178 centimeter widths.
The applicable subheading for the three weft knit fabrics designated as styles GAR-1, GAR-2 and GAR-3 will be 6006.21.9080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other knitted or crocheted fabrics, of cotton, unbleached or bleached, other, other. The rate of duty will be 10.8 percent ad valorem.
