The camisole features a u-shaped neckline, elasticized trim which comprises the adjustable shoulder straps and extends under the armholes and across the straight back neckline, build in shelf support, and a hemmed bottom. The applicable subheading for style 462041 will be 6109.90.1065, HTS, which provides for T-shirts, singlets, . . . and similar garments knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers, women's or girls': tank tops and singlets, women's.

Based upon international textile trade agreements products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.  The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
