Dear Ms. Guyer-Martin and Ms. Carothers: In your letter dated August 24, 2010, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your sample is being retained for our files. Style PL77 is a men’s pullover garment constructed from 100% cotton, finely knit, brushed jersey fabric that measures 26 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. The fabric weight is 195 grams per square meter. Style PL77 is cut and sewn and features contrasting color rib knit capping on the neckline; short, hemmed sleeves; a small embroidered logo on the lower left front panel; and a straight, hemmed bottom. Although you identify Style PL77 as sleepwear, garments of this style and construction are considered multi-use garments that can be worn in a variety of situations in and around the home. As such, Style PL77 is not classified as sleepwear, which is limited to garments that are designed for wear only to bed for sleeping. The heavily brushed knit fabric is considered a conspicuous non-T-shirt feature. Consequently, the applicable subheading for Style PL77 will be 6110.20.2069, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other: other: men’s or boys’: other.
