The garment features long sleeves with one button cuffs, four inch sleeve vents, a collar, a full frontal opening secured with a five button closure, 100% acetate lining, front slash pockets below the waist and a hemmed bottom. The applicable subheading for style R940009, will be 6205.10.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for men's or boys' shirts: of wool or fine animal hair: other, men's.

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.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
