Dear Ms. Jolley: In your letter dated December 15, 2004, you requested a classification ruling for a women’s knit top. The item will be returned as requested. The submitted garment, style HNEB, is a woman’s top constructed from 100 percent cotton knit fabric. The top has a u-shaped neckline in front, ½ inch adjustable shoulder straps made from gros-grain ribbon; and a hemmed bottom.

The garment also has a shelf bra lining with a one-inch elastic bottom.

The duty rate will be 10.8 percent ad valorem. The top falls within textile category designation 339.
