The inner portion has ¼ inch shoulder straps, a v neckline in front, and an upper back portion that extends across from side seam to side seam. The inner portion does not reach the waist. The applicable subheading for style N26S51 will be 6114.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for Other garments…knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Top: Women’s or girls’.
