Dear Ms. Amice: In your undated letter received by this office September 09, 2009, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Two scarves for Style ECH PO were submitted with your request. The Navy colored scarf is made of knit fleece 100 percent polyester fabric. The Black and White reversible scarf is made of knit 100 percent fleece fabric on one side and woven 100 percent cotton on the reverse side. Both scarves have an elastic band inside the scarf to give a ruffled effect. The scarves measure approximately sixty four inches long x four inches wide. The reversible scarf is comprised of materials classifiable in different subheadings, woven cotton fabric on one side (6214.90) and knit man-made fiber fabric on the other side (6117.80). GRI 3 (c) provides that when goods cannot be classified by reference 3(a) or 3 (b), they shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration in determining their classification. The tariff provision for the cotton woven fabric is the tariff subheading which occurs last. The applicable subheading for the Style ECH PO Navy Scarf, will be 6117.10.2030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Other made up clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted…Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like: Of man-made, Other."
